Abstract
We established a brand-new eye surgery simulator for training of peeling the inner limited membrane (ILM) which is superficial layer of retina. The artificial ILM could be peeled under water like as actual surgery. An artificial eye consisting of a fundus and eye ball parts was fabricated. The artificial eye could be installed in the simulator. The fundus part was mounted in the eyeball, which consisted of an artificial sclera, retina, and ILM. The artificial ILM was fabricated by chemically crosslinked PVA hydrogel. Thickness measurement and sensory evaluation of the fabricated ILM were done. We installed the eye model on an ocular surgery simulator, which could perform a sequence of operations like ILM peeling. Then, we succeeded in developing a novel ocular surgery simulator for peeling task of ILM and peeling under water like as the actual surgery.
