Eyesi Slit Lamp provides the same degrees of freedom and controls 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.

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.

Eyesi Slit Lamp features sophisticated guidance and gamification elements to support trainees in learning to master the complex functionalities of a slit lamp. Immediate visual and auditory feedback further help eye specialists to hone their skills towards expert performance. 

Eyesi Slit Lamp provides trainees with an objective performance assessment. 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.

VRmNet is a web-based service for networked Eyesi simulators offering online courses for trainees and administration tools for educators. The personalized VRmNet dashboard can be accessed online from any computer or mobile device. VRmNet also offers benefits for operation and service.

Numerous studies have validated the training concepts of training simulators by Haag-Streit Simulation and have proven that beginners, residents, and experienced doctors benefit from simulator training.
