Ophthalmoscopy simulator for practical training in pathology diagnosis.

Technical features:

• The simulator allows students to practise the technique of ophthalmoscopic examination through a real ophthalmoscope with monocular view of a realistic simulated eye with an adjustable iris.
• The system dynamically and interactively trains students to diagnose ocular pathologies through hands-on experience.
• The simulator's ophthalmoscope detects the user's movements and orientation to display the precise area of the retina on the simulator's simulated eye
• Realistic simulator eye geometry:

 - reproduces the magnification of the lens in the human eye

 - adjustable iris that expands and contracts to add complexity

 - accelerated eye movement can be activated to mimic various clinical conditions 

• Simulator content:

 - training modules to practice and evaluate ophthalmologic technique

 - testing working protocols to examine the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis

 - retinal pathologies include:

1. Normal retina
2. Diabetic retinopathy
3. Hypertensive retinopathy
4. Optic disk inflammation
5. Detailed descriptions of each clinical scenario

• Simulator software

 - intuitive and easy-to-use interface and graphics

 - enables a high degree of student-instructor interaction

 - enables the instructor to observe the area of the retina visualized by the student

 - the localization function enables the instructor to highlight certain features of pathologies in the region of the student's view

• The system includes:

1. Simulator unit
2. Software
3. Sensor unit
4. Ophthalmoscop
5. Connecting cables
6. Protective casing
7. Laptop
