Simulators designed for training in the performance of intraocular surgical procedures. These simulators typically include an anatomic model of a movable artificial eye mounted on a simulated head that lies on an adjustable-height table and uses a computerized control unit. The equipment simulates a complete scenario of an ophthalmology operating room including the surgeon stool; surgical instruments, an ophthalmic surgery microscope with a display coupled with a computerized main control unit, and dedicated software that permits a simulation of the surgical procedure in real time. Ophthalmology surgical training simulators may include (as integral parts or attached modules) components intended for training in particular procedures such as cataract and/or vitrectomy surgical procedures.
