Haag-Streit Simulation has introduced a gonioscopy module for its Eyesi Slit Lamp Simulator. Besides examination training for the anterior and posterior segment of the eye, the training system now also offers visualization of the iridocorneal angle.
Eyesi Slit Lamp is a diagnostic simulator for training of ophthalmologists and optometrists. Its virtual reality (VR) technology is integrated into the original hardware of a BQ 900 slit lamp model from Haag-Streit Diagnostics and simulates all functions of the real slit lamp. Looking through the simulator’s biomicroscope and using the slit lamp controls, trainees see the visualization of virtual patient’s eyes. Software modules provide various patients presenting with healthy eyes or clinically relevant pathologies.
For training of retinal examinations, a patient model head and a 90D ophthalmoscopy lens mimic is mounted to the simulator table, enabling a lifelike Interaction. Trainees need to insert the fundoscopy lens into the slit beam and move it slowly toward the patient’s eye until they see a focused image of the retina through the slit lamp microscope. For the visualization of the iridocorneal angle, an additional gonioscopy lens mimic is available.
Pathologies included in the new training modules for gonioscopy are, for example, pseudoexfoliation syndrome, iris nevus, iris melanoma, and elevated episcleral venous pressure. TO practice grading Of the chamber angle, the Shaffer-Kanski grading system and Spaeth classification system are available.
The Eyesi Slit Lamp simulator comes with a case-based, didactically structured curriculum for self-guided learning. Trainees need to specify findings and diagnoses, and will get immediate feedback by the training system. Introductory medical online courses from Haag-Streit Simulation are intertwinded with the simulator curriculum and complement the practical training.
