A 3D virtual reality ophthalmoscopy trainer

Abstract

Users agreed that the teaching approach improved their understanding of ophthalmoscopy (n = 14), their ability to identify landmarks in the eye (n = 14) and their ability to recognise abnormalities (n = 15). They found the app easy to use (n = 15), the teaching approach informative (n = 13) and that it would increase students' confidence when performing these tasks in future (n = 15). Performing eye examinations is an important clinical skill DISCUSSION: The evaluation showed that a VR app can successfully simulate the processes involved in performing eye examinations. The app was highly rated for all elements of perceived usefulness, ease of use and usability. Medical students stated that they would like to be taught other medical skills in this way in future.

Virtual reality-based neurological examination teaching tool(VRNET) versus standardized patient in teaching neurological examinations for the medical students: a randomized, single-blind study

“…Students who had a VR experience of temporal bone mastoidectomy surgery showed higher satisfaction and otolaryngology interest [ 14 ]. Use of VR ophthalmoscopy for teaching ophthalmologists improved their understanding of testing processes and their identification of abnormal findings [ 15 ]. Anatomy classes also utilize VR technology in a variety of ways [ 12 , 16 ].…”

Usefulness of Virtual Reality-Based Training to Diagnose Strabismus

“…Participants were asked to quantitatively rate their perceptions of the VR application on a scale of 1 to 5, where "1" meant "Disagree" and "5" meant "Agree" (Table 3). 15 Total score 20…”

“…Thomsen that it could successfully simulate the processes involved in performing eye examinations. 15 To our knowledge, this is the rst study to apply VR for strabismus education for examination and diagnosis, not in the eld of surgery, such as cataract surgery, which has been attracting attention in the eld of ophthalmology. Resident training has not been easy or straightforward in the strabismus eld, consistent with other elds.…”

Dispositivos móveis como ferramentas facilitadoras no processo de ensino-aprendizagem em fundoscopia

“…No contexto de inserção crescente das tecnologias no cenário educacional (Briz-Ponce, 2016), o aplicativo Retina Fácil foi desenvolvido para colaborar no processo de ensino-aprendizagem em fundo de olho e retinopatia diabética (RD) dos estudantes de medicina. Alguns estudos já utilizaram aplicativos, como o 3D VR APP, ou programas de computadores com fotografias on-line, para colaborar com o ensino sobre fundo de olho na graduação médica, mostrando-se úteis no complemento à prática tradicional e no estímulo da autoaprendizagem do aluno (Wilson et al, 2017;Kwok;Liao;Baxter, 2017). Porém, esses outros aplicativos eram menos abrangentes em relação aos achados fundoscópicos ou patologias específicas em comparação com o Retina Fácil.…”
