Abstract:
The present invention is a medical training apparatus and system is provided for training of medical professionals in ophthalmic examinations based on manipulation of a medical tool. The apparatus may comprise a physical model of an eye having an opening through which an image display is visible that simulates the appearance of an eye during ophthalmoscopy. A modified ophthalmoscope includes movement sensors and captures movement information, which is processed by the system to selectively display corresponding sections of images of an eye. The training apparatus is operable for one or more simulations for training a trainee in a medical examination or procedure for a body part in accordance with a training method.
