The elasticity/tearing of the lens replicates that of an adult human cataractous lens. | 4.2 |
The explanted lens model accurately replicates performance of a CCC in an adult human cataractous lens. | 4.0 |
The size of the anterior segment in this model is similar to that of a human. | 3.2 |
The whole eye model accurately replicates performance of a CCC in an adult human. | 3.6 |
These are useful training models for teaching beginning surgeons the CCC. | 4.6 |
These models more accurately replicate the experience of performing a CCC in humans than other models you are familiar with. | 4.4 |
These models represent useful additions to the current methods of training beginning surgeons. | 4.6 |
