Eyesi Slit Lamp provides the same degrees of freedom and controls as the Haag-Streit BQ 900 slit lamp, such as: rotation and three-axis position of illumination and observation system, slit width and length, inclination and rotation of the slit beam, and filters. As trainees look into the microscope, they see exactly what they would expect to see if there was a real patient sitting in front of them. This immersive training experience makes the transition to examining patients with a real slit lamp as easy as can be.

The Eyesi Slit Lamp Simulator can be optionally equipped to teach effective SLT treatment, one of the most widely used laser therapies for open-angle glaucoma. The four-tiered courseware guides trainees step by step, from adjusting the laser energy settings to learning the proper lens position and precise aiming. By adjusting the laser settings, positioning the SLT lens, and firing the laser with a foot pedal, trainees learn to place the optimum number and location of laser "shots", monitor performance, and systematically improve it.

Eyesi Slit Lamp comes with a didactically structured curriculum for self-guided learning. The curriculum consists of four tiers, which focus on different key aspects of slit lamp examinations. The beginners’ courses allow trainees to become acquainted with slit lamp handling and illumination techniques. The advanced courses introduce a wide range of clinical pictures and standard grading systems. Trainees proceed through the curriculum by completing the courses of a tier successively. Introductory medical online courses available on the VRmNet web portal are intertwined with the simulator curriculum and complement the practical training.

The SLT courseware provides trainees with the practical skills required to learn SLT treatment, which is a very complex procedure for beginners. After learning to adjust the laser settings, trainees learn how to handle and rotate the SLT lens precisely. They then learn how to place laser "shots" in the optimum position, with the right level of power. Finally, they work through therapeutic decision-making and apply their skills on virtual patients.

Eyesi Slit Lamp features sophisticated guidance and gamification elements to support trainees in learning to master the complex functionalities of a slit lamp. Immediate visual and auditory feedback further help eye specialists to hone their skills towards expert performance. 

Eyesi Slit Lamp provides trainees with an objective performance assessment. Required minimum scores ensure that trainees meet a standard skill level. By providing comprehensive training reports, Eyesi Slit Lamp also allows educators to assess their students’ skill acquisition.
