Detail
Injecting medication into the back of the eye is a method used to numb pain and immobilize the patient’s eye, making it easier for the ophthalmologist to perform surgery. However, this method can lead to complications such as retrobulbar hemorrhage, globe perforation, retinal detachment, optic nerve injury, or inadvertent injection into blood vessels, which can pose serious risks to the patient, including vision loss or even death. To address this, a training mannequin has been developed to simulate the administration of medication into the back of the eye. This tool is used for teaching and training medical students in ophthalmology residency programs, allowing them to practice and gain confidence in administering injections safely before performing them on real patients.
