Evaluation of medical student performance and satisfaction of simulator-based direct ophthalmoscopy training using a new refractive adjustment fundoscopic examination simulator-ICEyeModel: a comparative randomised crossover study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The use of simulators for ophthalmology training is growing globally. However, all developed simulators have certain limits based on different circumstances. The study aims to evaluate training performance and student satisfaction of the new refractive adjustment simulator "ICEyeModel" compared with a traditional simulator for direct ophthalmoscopy training among medical students.

Methods

This constitutes a comparative, randomised, cross-over study. Our study enrolled 50 participants from a 6-year medical student training programme at Phramongkutklao Hospital. They underwent a refresher lecture on primary direct ophthalmoscopy use and a short course review of common retinal diseases. They were randomised into two training sequence groups: Training sequence 1 start
