| Popis: | Background The need for pre-training in experimental eye surgery is considered necessary. It is an essential way to assess trainees in ophthalmology based on their instrument and tissue handling and skills. This article aims to underline this necessity and demonstrate the ocular health professionals' opinion on this issue. Methods 74 participants (45 females and 29 males) were included in the study. Ophthalmology residents, ophthalmologists participated in the wet lab session. The evaluation of the contribution of the wet labs were provided by filling a new questionnaire form. In this way, an interactive questionnaire was developed. Results Regarding trainees' grading of wet labs' significance as a first step for guiding their surgical career, it was positively correlated with their subjective view of labs' utility to both improve their surgical skills (p = 0.001) and maintain pre-existing ones (p Highlights • Pre-training in experimental eye surgery is considered to be necessary. • Health professionals evaluated the role of wet labs by filling a new questionnaire. • Participants had a positive opinion on wet labs' role, especially during residency. • Wet labs can reduce the learning curve of difficult surgical techniques. • Safe and effective treatment of ophthalmology patients is more feasible. |
