Abstrakt: Introduction: We describe and validate a low-cost simulation model for practicing anterior lens capsule continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC). Methods: A simulation model for CCC was developed from widely available low-cost materials. Ophthalmologists attending the annual scientific meeting of the Research Institute of Ophthalmology, Giza, Egypt, were asked to perform a five CCC model task and then anonymously answer a questionnaire that assessed the realism and training utility of the model using a five-point Likert scale (1 = unacceptable, 2 = poor, 3 = acceptable, 4 = favorable and 5 = excellent). Results: Twenty-seven ophthalmologists completed the task and the anonymous questionnaire. Overall, participants felt that the model simulated CCC step in cataract surgery well (mean: 3.5) and was comparable to other kinds of CCC simulation models (mean: 3.3). The model scored highly for its overall educational value (mean: 4.00) and for enlarging a small CCC (mean:3.7), while the feasibility of this model in practicing the management of a runaway leading edge of CCC scored 2.9. Conclusion: This model may provide an alternative method for training for CCC and other anterior lens capsule-related maneuvers. This option may be particularly helpful for residency training programs with limited access to virtual reality simulators or commercially available synthetic eye models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
