“…Leitritz et al (n=37) randomized 4 th year medical students with no prior experience with BIO into control and AR groups using the EyeSI simulator. 36 All students performed the procedure the day after training and were assessed through their drawings of the patient's optic disk and arteries/veins. The AR group sketched more vessels correctly and achieved a higher Ophthalmoscopy Training Score.…”

Introduction The field of augmented reality (AR) is rapidly growing with many new potential applications in medical education. This systematic review aims to investigate the current state of augmented reality applications (ARAs) as teaching tools in the healthcare field. Methods A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. This review followed PRISMA guidelines and included publications from January 1, 2000 to June 18, 2018. Inclusion criteria were experimental studies evaluating ARAs implemented in healthcare education published in English. The quality of each study was assessed using GRADE criteria. Five stages of validity were also evaluated for each ARA. Results We identified 100,807 articles in the initial literature search; 36 met inclusion criteria for final review and were categorized into three categories: Surgery (23), Anatomy (9), and Classroom (4). The overall quality of the studies was poor. No ARAs were validated at all five levels. Conclusion While AR technology is growing at a rapid rate, the current quality and breadth of AR research in medical training is insufficient to recommend the adoption into educational curricula. More coordinated and comprehensive research is needed to define the role of AR technology in medical education.

“…The models, ranging from simple to complex, include an inflatable origami eye, 1 a glass marble, 2 a styrofoam head with slide projector and interchangeable lenses, 3,4 a toy eye with 90 D slit-lamp examination lens, 5 and a sophisticated computer simulation model. 6 The simpler models lack the lifelike image quality and image size found in our model, whereas the computer simulator, although quite realistic, is expensive and does not allow laser simulation.…”

Purpose-To describe a simple and inexpensive model eye that allows lifelike simulation of indirect ophthalmoscopy and retinal photocoagulation. Methods-A 60 D examination lens, a bulb syringe, foam poster-board, a manila folder, a hobby knife, a fine pair of scissors, a glue gun, and a 2.5 cm square Optos color fundus photograph printed at 1200 dpi resolution on glossy photographic paper were used to create a model eye. Results-This model produces a high-quality, inverted, and aerial image that closely simulates clinical indirect ophthalmoscopy. Pupil size and retinal pathology can be easily changed. Binocular indirect laser photocoagulation can also be simulated, because white laser burns will appear on the glossy inkjet photograph. Conclusions-Binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy and indirect laser photocoagulation are technically challenging diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. This simple and easy-to-build eye model allows for lifelike simulation of indirect ophthalmoscopy and indirect laser retinal photocoagulation. ▱ Several pieces of hook-and-loop fastener

“…Leitritz et al evaluated the effectiveness of the training Eyesi indirect indirect ophthalmoscopy and concluded that there was evidence that a single training with augmented reality indirect ophthalmoscopy is effective in increasing the ophthalmoscopic skills of students (Leitritz et al, 2014). Researchers at the University of Nebraska used the EYE model and concluded that ophthalmoscopy simulation experience was able to increase the Souza P, Nunes G, Bastos J, Fonseca T, Cortizo V MedEdPublish https://doi.org/10.15694/mep.2017.000197…”
