摘要
This is a review education paper on the current ophthalmology simulators utilized worldwide for undergraduate and postgraduate training. At present, various simulators such as the EYE Exam Simulator （Kyoto Kagaku Co. Ltd., Kyoto, Japan）, Eyesi direct ophthalmoscope simulator （VRmagic, GmbH, Mannheim, Germany）, Eyesi indirect ophthalmoscope simulator （VRmagic, GmbH, Mannheim, Germany） and Eyesi cataract simulators （VRmagic, GmbH, Mannheim, Germany）. These simulators are thought to be able to reduce the initial learning curve for the ophthalmology training but further research will need to be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the simulation-assisted ophthalmology training. Future research will be of great value to assess the medical students and residents responses and performance regarding the usefulness of the individual eye simulator.
