Abstract

The present invention relates to an ocular surgery training device, which includes an eye model having a hole at one side, and a catheter inserted into the hole, wherein a pressure sensor for measuring a pressure applied to the hole by the catheter is provided at one end of the catheter. The present invention may provide the ocular surgery training device which may enhance the skill of users in performing ocular surgery, thereby preventing complications.

Claims (6)

1. An ocular surgery training device comprises:

an eye model having a sclera, an optic nerve, a retina, a crystalline lens, a cornea, an iris, a ciliary body, a vitreous body consisting of a gel form in which polymer chains are chemically crosslinked or physically crossed to form a network, a hole formed on the sclera, an opening and closing unit which is formed at the portion of the vitreous body near the sclera and which opens and closes the hole by an elastic force to prevent the outflow of inner filling materials to the outside, an intraocular pressure sensor which is mounted on the retina and measures a fluid pressure inside the eye model, and position sensors which are installed on the retina; and

a catheter inserted into the hole,

wherein the catheter has a pressure sensor which is provided at one end of the catheter and measures a pressure applied to the eye model by a user through the catheter, an intraocular pressure sensor which is provided at one side of the catheter and measures the fluid pressure inside the eye model, and position sensors which are provided at the catheter and sense a position of the catheter,

wherein the pressure sensor, the intraocular pressure sensor, and the position sensors each include a transmission means to transmit the measured value of information, a display unit for receiving and displaying the value of information transmitted from these transmission means, and an indicating means to notify the user through a sound or a light emitting diode when the measured value of information is out of range of the values set in advance,

wherein the eye model includes one or more features selected from an opaque crystalline lens and a detached retina.
