Clinical Trial: Virtual Reality Competency-based Simulation Training Improves Early Patient Outcomes in Cataract Surgery

U.S., Nov. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07936123) titled 'Virtual Reality Competency-based Simulation Training Improves Early Patient Outcomes in Cataract Surgery' on Nov. 09.

Brief Summary: This study investigated the effect of virtual reality simulation training (VRST) on early patient outcomes following cataract surgery performed by novice surgeons. Nine novice cataract surgeons were divided into two groups based on previous VRST experience. Group allocation was determined by regional differences in simulator availability rather than randomization. Each surgeon performed three cataract surgeries before and three after completing competency-based VRST. The primary outcomes were postopera...
