Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Evaluation of a digital simulator to train diagnostic skills in Ophthalmology

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Direct Ophthalmoscopy is an important tool to detect pathologies e.g. on the optic nerve head. The training of the needed skills is made conventionally in most cases. In such the training sessions students examine each other after dilating one pupil. Examining of patients with pathologies is very important, but in many cases not very easy without any experience.

Simulators are of growing impact to teach diagnostic or surgical skills. A digital simulator with virtual reality technology is used to teach the skills to unexperienced examiners. The head-eye-hand-coordination can be trained without any stress.
