A new seven-module EyeSi simulator test effectively assesses cataract surgery skills. This validated tool reliably distinguishes between novice and experienced surgeons, proving useful for in vitro microsurgical skill evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Cataract surgery requires precise microsurgical skills.
  • Objective assessment tools are needed to evaluate surgical competence.
  • The EyeSi simulator offers a platform for surgical training and assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate the EyeSi simulator for assessing cataract surgery competence.
  • To develop a proficiency-based test using simulator metrics.
  • To determine if the assessment is specific to cataract surgery skills.

Main Methods:

  • 26 ophthalmic trainees and 16 experienced surgeons (cataract and vitreoretinal) participated.
  • Subjects completed 13 EyeSi simulator modules twice.
  • Simulator metrics were analyzed to establish discriminative ability and reliability.

Main Results:

  • Seven of 13 modules showed significant differences between novices and experienced surgeons.
  • A proficiency test was established with high intermodule reliability (0.76).
  • The test successfully discriminated between skill levels, with 81% of novices failing versus 9% of experienced surgeons.

Conclusions:

  • A seven-module EyeSi simulator test demonstrates validity for assessing cataract surgery skills.
  • The test reliably differentiates novice from experienced surgeons.
  • The EyeSi simulator is a valuable tool for evaluating in vitro microsurgical skills.
