Abstract
AbstractOphthalmology is one of the specialties that require very special skills because of the delicate and very fine structure of the eye and its adnexa. Today we operate utilizing not only microscopes but also 3 D systems. The skills required are not just difficult to acquire, but also complicated to sustain. Moreover, training in real patients is challenging from regulatory, ethical, moral, emotional and many other reasons. Therefore, utilizing simulators for training and CME is and opportunity with excellent perspective. Currently there are number of centers in Europe that implement simulators for ophthalmology training, however, there is no guideline for simulator training, except for Royal College of Ophthalmology in UK. The purpose of the presentation is to highlight pros and cones in simulation training and discuss the opportunities for improvement of the skills of beginner and established surgeon. Never‐the‐less, simulation training is the future, and ophthalmology educators must look for opportunities how to optimize and improve the complicated learning process for trainees at all levels.
