With the aging of China's population, the prevalence of fundus diseases is also increasing year by year. According to statistics, there are more than 40 million patients with fundus disease in China, which is the first irreversible blinding eye disease in China, and vitreoretinal surgery is the primary method of vitreoretinal disease, bringing light to countless patients.
In order to improve the training efficiency of fundus surgeons and give full play to the equipment advantages of the Aier Ophthalmology International Clinical Training Center (AICTC) Eyesi vitreoretinal surgery simulator, the "Fundus Surgery Basic Practice" training program was developed, and a three-day third training course was held in mid-December 2023, with a total of 6 doctors participating in this training.
"Fundus Surgery Basic Practice" is a training program specially developed for doctors who have a certain foundation in microsurgery, but cannot independently carry out vitreoretinal surgery, and adopts the teaching mode of "20% theory + 30% animal eye surgery training + 50% simulated surgery training", which guides practice with theory, introduces EYESI fundus simulation equipment into the classroom, and organically combines dry-lab and wet-lab surgical training.
