Background:
Vitreoretinal training has been badly affected during the COVID-19 times. Due to lockdown, the number of patients reaching the hospital has dwindled. Hence we propose two simple cost-effective ways to improve resident training.
Purpose:
To highlight two simple eye models RETILAPP and RETISURGE, and their use in resident training. This video also highlights how to make and customise laser and surgery eye models and its advantages .
Synopsis:
: By using 3D printing, two simple, economical and reusable eye models have been proposed to improve resident training especially during COVID-19 times.
Highlights:
Use of simple easily available materials and 3D printing to make sustainable eye models for practise as against the simulator based learning.
