Abstract：Objective To assess the training efficacy of EYESi simulator in vitreoretinal surgery for residents with different levels.Methods 14 trainees were recruited in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center,who underwent standardized training,to participate in vitreoretinal surgery training courses.They were divided into senior and junior groups according to their training seniority.The training included:epiretinal membrane,bimanual scissors training and forceps training.Each project provided trainees with 10 practice opportunities,and recorded the score and duration of each time given by EYESi simulator.Results After EYESi simulator training,students'confidence and self-rating scores were improved compared with those before training,and the learning curve conformed to the logarithmic model.With the increase of practice times,the scores of the three items all showed an upward trend.In the epiretinal membrane item,the score of the senior group was significantly better than that of the junior group(P<0.05),but there were no significant differences between the two groups in the bimanual scissors training and forceps training.Conclusions EYESi simulator helps trainees to familiarize themselves with vitreoretinal surgery and improves their confidence in operation.The learning curve conforms to the logarithmic model.The performance of the senior group in the epiretinal membrane item is significantly better than that of the junior group,but there are no significant differences between the two groups in the bimanual scissors training and forceps training.
