The article discusses the development of RetinaVR, a virtual reality simulator for vitreoretinal surgery training using the Meta Quest 2 VR headset. The simulator focuses on four core skills: core vitrectomy, peripheral shaving, membrane peeling, and endolaser application. The study involved 10 novice ophthalmology residents and 10 expert vitreoretinal surgeons, revealing promising results. RetinaVR could democratize access to surgical simulation, especially in developing countries.
