Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology and Optometry Education
  • Medical Simulation and Training

Background:

  • Simulation techniques are integral to healthcare education for clinical skill development.
  • Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) is a critical clinical skill in optometry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the perceived value of a tonometry model eye (TME) in teaching and learning Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT).
  • To assess the TME's utility in optometric education within the UK.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective, two-armed, cross-sectional study design.
  • Qualitative data collection via focus group discussions with academic experts and semi-structured surveys with optometry students.
  • Quantitative analysis of student-rated responses using Chi-square tests.

Main Results:

  • The TME was identified as a useful tool for developing GAT technical skills in a safe learning environment.
  • Students reported increased confidence (86%) and a high recommendation rate (82%) for the TME.
  • Limitations of the TME did not negate its overall instructional value.

Conclusions:

  • The TME is perceived as a valuable instructional tool for learning GAT within a scaffolded educational approach.
  • Students benefit from the TME by practicing skills, making errors safely, and familiarizing themselves with equipment without patient risk.
