For training of basic surgical skills, Eyesi Surgical offers introductory tasks that foster microsurgical motor skills, microscope handling, and spatial orientation inside the eye. The abstract scenarios have been designed to advance the coordination of hand, eye, and foot. Exercises aim at minimizing reaction time and excess movements, as well as proper pivoting at the incision.

The Cataract Challenge course has been designed to benchmark residents’ training performance over time. The course mimics the conditions of real surgery. Every 60 minutes of training time, trainees have to perform a complete cataract procedure in sequential order. They only have one attempt at each cataract step and a limited time window of 15 minutes.

Educators can view their residents’ training status online and compare their results to peer group training data. Configurable notifications and reports keep teachers informed on important milestones.
