Posterior Capsulotomy on SimulEYE YAG model.

The Technique

The SimulEYE YAG model has been used to train thousands of doctors to perform a posterior capsulotomy. Realistic power settings can be used to open the posterior membrane. Use the laser offset to avoid pitting the simulated IOL and get familiar with the laser before ever treating a patient.

The YAG Model

This model provides a cornea-scleral shell for use with or without a YAG capsulotomy laser lens. Inside is an iris, anterior capsule membrane, an IOL, and a posterior capsule that will respond to Nd:YAG laser treatment. The eye needs to be filled with water prior to use. This model is considered single-use. However, multiple laser spots can be applied to each eye before it is consumed.
