The new training sites will allow USC and UIC ophthalmology residents, and nearby residents, access to a simulation-based eye surgery training program, according to a Jan. 16 press release.
The training sites feature high-fidelity virtual reality technology with haptic feedback, offering a realistic, risk-free environment for developing skills needed to perform manual small incision cataract surgery, phacoemulsification and other essential surgical techniques.
Both training locations will include HelpMeSee instructors who can provide real-time feedback and personalized guidance.
