A new, affordable, and reusable practice eye model was created for epiretinal membrane peeling surgery. This model aids surgeons in developing essential skills for this delicate procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Medical Device Development

Background:

  • Epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling is a critical surgical procedure.
  • Acquiring proficiency in ERM peeling requires extensive practice.
  • Existing training models may be costly or lack accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a cost-effective and reusable practice eye model for epiretinal membrane peeling.
  • To provide a realistic simulation for training ophthalmic surgeons.

Main Methods:

  • A commercially available eye model was modified with simulated sclerotomies.
  • A removable anterior segment allowed posterior segment access.
  • Liquid skin bandage was used to create membranes on the macula.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Peeling was performed using standard ophthalmic surgical equipment.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed model is cost-effective, reusable, and uses readily available materials.
    • It effectively simulates the anatomical and optical properties of the human eye.
    • The model facilitates practice of membrane placement and peeling techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • This practice eye model offers a valuable tool for training surgeons in epiretinal membrane peeling.
    • It enhances the acquisition of essential surgical skills in a simulated environment.
    • The model's design promotes accessibility and affordability in surgical education.
