Abstract
Abstract
Objective: To develop a reliable, inexpensive device for teaching ocular surgical procedures and practicing experimental techniques on enucleated eyes.
Design: Teaching device trial.
Methods: A Plexiglas ocular bulb holder was secured with its base support to a polyvinylchloride pillar on a modified polystyrene trial head.
Results: This model allows curvilinear capsulorhexis and phacoemulsification of porcine lenses through a corneal tunnel incision and insertion of a soft foldable acrylic intraocular lens into the capsular bag. Argon and neodymium:YAG laser iridotomy and retinal argon laser photocoagulation can also be performed with this model.
Conclusion: This inexpensive device is useful for teaching both surgical and laser ocular procedures.
