“…A well-structured, wet-lab training with goat's eye and unused human cadaver eyes was initiated to practice different surgical techniques by both junior and senior residents. [ 2 ] To enhance the postgraduate surgical learning, the department had been trying to acquire the virtual reality simulator (Eyesi, VRmagic, Mannheim, Germany), and fortunately, it was commissioned during the pandemic time. This came as a boon to the residents at a time when elective operation theaters were completely shut down.…”

To describe ophthalmology resident experience with ophthalmic trauma cases in the U.S. Methods: We analyzed Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) case log data and de-identified case logs from US ophthalmology residency programs for residents graduating in 2018. Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes documented as "Globe Trauma" and trauma-related "Oculoplastic and Orbit" codes including lid lacerations and lateral canthotomies were analyzed. Results: 38 residency programs provided case logs (response rate: 32.2%). Residents performed an average of 7.24±4.37 open globe repairs, 8.66±6.94 lid laceration repairs, 0.49±1.4 orbital fracture repairs, 1.22±1.81 lateral canthotomies, and 0.28±0.69 anterior chamber washouts as primary surgeon. On average, the most logged "Globe Trauma" procedure was open globe repair as primary surgeon. The more common trauma-related "Oculoplastic and Orbit" procedure was lid laceration repair as primary surgeon. 42.8% of residents did not log any lateral canthotomy procedures. Medium programs performed significantly more canthotomies than large programs (F(2166) = 6.35, p = 0.002), and large programs performed significantly more orbital fracture repairs than small and medium programs (F(2166) = 4.45, p = 0.013). Conclusion: Significant variation in globe trauma volume exists across programs. ACGME guidelines require a minimum of four globe trauma procedures for graduation, but procedures like anterior chamber paracentesis count towards this requirement. Open globe repairs, simple lid lacerations, and lateral canthotomies are basic skills every graduating resident should be competent in. Updating ACGME case log requirements for ophthalmic trauma and increasing opportunities for wet lab simulations may assist in ensuring graduating ophthalmology residents' competency in performing these procedures.

We describe and validate a low-cost simulation model for practicing anterior lens capsule continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC). Methods: A simulation model for CCC was developed from widely available low-cost materials. Ophthalmologists attending the annual scientific meeting of the Research Institute of Ophthalmology, Giza, Egypt, were asked to perform a five CCC model task and then anonymously answer a questionnaire that assessed the realism and training utility of the model using a five-point Likert scale (1 = unacceptable, 2 = poor, 3 = acceptable, 4 = favorable and 5 = excellent). Results: Twenty-seven ophthalmologists completed the task and the anonymous questionnaire. Overall, participants felt that the model simulated CCC step in cataract surgery well (mean: 3.5) and was comparable to other kinds of CCC simulation models (mean: 3.3). The model scored highly for its overall educational value (mean: 4.00) and for enlarging a small CCC (mean:3.7), while the feasibility of this model in practicing the management of a runaway leading edge of CCC scored 2.9. Conclusion: This model may provide an alternative method for training for CCC and other anterior lens capsule-related maneuvers. This option may be particularly helpful for residency training programs with limited access to virtual reality simulators or commercially available synthetic eye models.
