Indirect ophthalmoscopy

Studies Simulation model Evaluation method Results
Leitritz et al (2014)36 EYEsi Indirect Ophthalmoscope Simulator Medical students (37) were randomized into two groups (control vs simulator). Real patient examination and standardized questionnaires were applied Simulation group had a training score higher than the conventional group (p<0.003), although no difference was noted in questionnaire scores
Chou et al (2016)37 EYEsi Indirect Ophthalmoscope Simulator Medical students (25) were compared to ophthalmologists/optometrists (17). Standardized questionnaires and simulated cases were applied Trained professionals showed higher scores on all simulated cases and a faster mean duration of examination (p<0.0001), although medical students showed higher scores in questionnaires
