    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Education
    • Anatomy

    Background:

    • Indirect ophthalmoscopy is a crucial diagnostic skill in ophthalmology.
    • Learning to accurately draw retinal findings is challenging for trainees.
    • Existing teaching methods may not adequately address the complexities of retinal drawing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel, cost-effective teaching model for indirect ophthalmoscopy.
    • To simplify and improve the process of learning retinal drawing.
    • To mitigate common frustrations encountered by ophthalmology trainees.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a low-cost, easily reproducible retinal drawing model.
    • Utilizing the model for hands-on practice of indirect ophthalmoscopy.
    • Assessment of the model's efficacy in improving drawing accuracy and reducing learning time.

    Main Results:

    • The described model is simple and inexpensive to construct.
    • Preliminary use suggests a reduction in learning curve frustrations.
    • The model facilitates a more intuitive understanding of retinal structures.

    Conclusions:

    • This teaching model offers a practical solution for ophthalmology education.
    • It enhances the learning experience for indirect ophthalmoscopy and retinal drawing.
    • Further studies could validate its widespread clinical and educational impact.
