The Eyesi Slit Lamp provides the same control and degree of freedom as the Haag-Streit BQ 900 slit lamp, such as: rotation and three-axis position of illumination and observation system, slit width and length, inclination and rotation of the slit beam, and filters. As trainees look into the microscope, they see exactly what they would expect to see if there was a real patient sitting in front of them. This immersive training experience makes the transition to examining patients with a real slit lamp as easy as can be.

The Eyesi Slit Lamp comes with a didactically structured curriculum for self-guided learning. The curriculum consists of four tiers, which focus on different key aspects of slit lamp examinations. The beginners’ courses allow trainees to become acquainted with slit lamp handling and illumination techniques. The advanced courses introduce a wide range of clinical pictures and standard grading systems. Trainees proceed through the curriculum by completing the courses of a tier successively. Introductory medical online courses available on the VRmNet web portal are intertwined with the simulator curriculum and complement the practical training.

The Eyesi Slit Lamp provides both trainees and educators with an objective performance assessment. Guidance elements and immediate feedback after each case help trainees to improve their skills systematically. Scored parameters include the light exposure and the accuracy of found clinical signs. Required minimum scores ensure that trainees meet a standard skill level. By providing comprehensive training reports, Eyesi Slit Lamp also allows educators to assess their students’ skill acquisition.
