18-Question Survey Designed to Assess the Face and Content Validity of the Bioniko Okulo BR8 Model

Please Respond to Each Question Using a Scale of (1) Strongly Agree to (5) Strongly Disagree.
1. The Alcon Bioniko tissue had a realistic appearance.
2. The structures were anatomically accurate.
3. The model simulates real ocular tissue.
4. The model is useful for training residents in the secondary intraocular lens fixation.
5. All novices should have training on the Alcon Bioniko model prior to performing these procedures on patients.
6. The Alcon Bioniko model is useful in assessing the resident’s skill to perform this technique.
7. The Alcon Bioniko model should be included in all Canadian residency programs.
8. Compared to traditional cadaveric eyes, the Alcon Bioniko model is more accessible.
9. Compared to traditional cadaveric eyes, the Alcon Bioniko model is easier to set up and clean up.
10. Compared to traditional cadaveric eyes, the Alcon Bioniko model is more realistic.
11. Performing this technique on the Alcon Bioniko model before real patients is more likely to result in success than discussion of theory and observation alone.
12. Successful performance of this technique on the Alcon Bioniko model is predictive of success on a real patient.
13. Successful performance of this technique on the Alcon Bioniko model indicates readiness to perform these procedures on real patients.
14. Previous experience performing this technique helps in obtaining skills on the Alcon Bioniko model.
15. The Alcon Bioniko model is an effective tool to assess surgical readiness.
16. The training benefits of the Alcon Bioniko model justify the cost of $200 per eye.
17. The Alcon Bioniko model was free of defects or malfunctions for the duration of its use.
18. The Alcon Bioniko model was easy to prepare and set up (if performed).
