The company’s VR-based simulator, OpSim, has significantly advanced medical training by providing residents and healthcare professionals with immersive, hands-on experiences in a controlled, virtual environment. It has been proven to enhance technical, cognitive, and psychomotor skills by allowing users to perform complex medical procedures and handle equipment as part of structured training scenarios. OpSim is particularly valuable as a warm-up tool before cataract surgeries, where it helps improve operational accuracy, reduce errors, and decrease post-operative complications.

The simulator’s ability to load patient-specific data allows for more personalized, realistic training sessions. By minimizing the need for wet labs, OpSim offers residents the opportunity to simulate a wide range of difficult, dangerous, or costly scenarios that are otherwise hard to replicate in real life. Additionally, OpSim’s detailed 3D medical models, which are far more intricate than traditional physical models, provide learners with deeper insights into anatomy and surgical techniques. The system’s built-in analytical module tracks actions and provides continuous performance feedback, allowing users to assess their progress, refine their skills, and achieve mastery over critical ophthalmic procedures like phacoemulsification.

As a result, OpSim has been instrumental in boosting residents’ confidence and competence, leading to better patient outcomes and reduced surgical risks in real-life practice.
