The unique combination of wet lab stations and Eyesi simulators offers residents a highly effective training environment, enabling an optimal transition of acquired skills to the OR. Residents can systematically hone their skills by absolving the didactically structured simulator curriculum and alternately working on Haag-Streit Hi-R NEO 900 microscopes. Moreover, the simulator’s means for evaluation and monitoring gives educators and residents confidence in the acquired skill level – before entering the OR.

While working on Haag-Streit Hi-R NEO 900 microscopes with the Vertiscope and electronically height adjustable table, residents can learn and practice proper ergonomic posture which is reinforced later in the operating room. At the same time, with a comfortable and stimulating training environment, residents will take their time in the training lab to hone their skills for expert performance.

The live view of the Hi-R NEO 900 microscopes or the Eyesi Surgical simulators can be displayed on large monitors in the training room for collaborative learning. A custom app makes it easy for instructors to operate the video system from a wall mounted touch screen or a mobile device such as an iPad.

With longstanding expertise in ophthalmic training, the Haag-Streit team offers insight-driven consultancy on aspects ranging from room layout, ergonomic equipment and media technology to methodical approaches to resident learning. If desired, experts from Haag-Streit will also adopt project management and implementation – down to the last detail.
