Evaluates simulated surgical outcomes among surgical trainees using the HelpMeSee eye surgery simulator.
Report on Trainee Performance
November 2022
This study investigates the validity evidence of metrics used for the assessment of surgical skills for Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery (MSICS) in a virtual reality simulator.
Demonstrates the visual representation of surgery on the HelpMeSee eye surgery siimulator was extremely realistic. Showcasing extremely favorable outcomes, the article involves a face, content and structure validity study.
Face, Content and Structure Validity
November 2022
Focuses on developing a risk stratification system that predicts outcomes in patients undergoing cataract surgery. The predictive capability of these learning models was based on a large, real-world cataract surgical data set to determine which patients would benefit most from sight-restoring surgery.

Ophthalmic Suture Simulator: Scleral wound suturing using a virtual reality 3D simulator
September 2023
Dr. Ashish Bacchav and Dr. Van Charles Lansingh discuss suturing, which is the most important skill required in the management of anterior segment trauma. It is essential that ophthalmic professionals practice suturing well before one does suturing in real live surgery. However, there are limited eyes and training opportunities in the post Covid19 world. How will trainees master the basic skill in suturing in case of ocular trauma?
