Abstract
This work shows the results obtained in the development of a cataract surgery simulator for education and medical training. A Finite Element 3D human eye model has been developed with haptic feedback and the necessary surgical equipment to carry out the cataract surgery. The developed system provides the students and surgeons a tool for interactive learning that can be used for the anatomy study and physiology of the eye, diagnoses training or planning of ocular surgery.
