This innovative project aims to address the global issue of blindness, with over 20 million cases attributed to cataracts. By utilizing virtual reality technology and simulation training, the team seeks to train more eye surgeons efficiently and affordably. The solution, developed with Microsoft software and affordable components, shows promising results in improving surgical skills and outcomes. This impactful initiative not only enhances training but also helps restore sight to millions in need. The extendibility of the technology allows for potential applications beyond cataract surgery, reaching broader areas of ophthalmic surgery. Join us in this mission to combat preventable blindness worldwide.

  1. Curing Blindness in the Developing World

  2. The Team Aidan Lynch User Interface Eoin O' Brien Level Design Ros McMahon User Input Maria O' Connor Modeller Daniel O'Byrne Mentor

  3. The Need • 45 Million people Blind Worldwide • Over 20 Million due to cataracts www.who.int

  4. What is a Cataract? • A clouding of the natural lens, the part of the eye responsible for focusing light and producing clear, sharp images. • This may be removed in under 10 minutes, restoring sight

  5. Right To Sight

  6. UN Millennium Goals Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger

  7. UN Millennium Goals Achieve Universal Primary Education

  8. UN Millennium Goals Reduce Child Mortality

  9. UN Millennium Goals Improve Maternal Health

  10. UN Millennium Goals Combat Diseases

  11. UN Millennium Goals Develop a Global Partnership for Development

  12. How We Can Help

  13. Current Solution • The EYESi is the only simulator currently available • Still in the development stage • Costs between $100,000 and $200,000 http://www.vrmagic.com/

  14. Our Solution • Built Using Microsoft Software • Run on any Microsoft Windows Computer • Using Motion Sensitive Controllers and Infra-red LED’s

  15. Cost Windows Computer: €315 x2 Motion Sensitive Controllers: €60 Rechargeable Battery: €16 x4 Infra-red LED’s: €6 _____________________________________ Total Price: €397 www.amazon.co.uk

  16. Demo

  17. Sounds great, Does it work? • Exponential decrease in complications • Simulator training greatly shortens this learning period • Measured and controlled environment • Training on the EYESi simulator is proven to improve student’s wet lab results * * Virtual reality training improves wet-lab performance of capsulorhexis: results of a randomized, controlled study

  18. Sounds great Does it work?

  19. Sounds great, Does it work? • Safe • Controlled • Accessible • Proven Effective

  20. Impact • Reduce direct supervision needed • Enable online leaning • More students trained • Keep skills sharp • Help restore sight to millions of people

  21. Technology • Motion Sensitive Controller • Bluetooth • Infrared LED / Camera

  22. Technology

  23. Technology

  24. Innovation • Tackling a serious, real world problem in a unique way • Adapting existing technology to be used in new, imaginative ways • Provided an affordable solution to a long standing global problem facing millions of people

  25. To Date • The most important surgical steps modeled • hand-eye coordination levels • Detailed scoring system • Varying difficulty levels • An online Community System

  26. Extendibility • Not Just Cataract Surgery... • Not just medical applications Vitreo-Retinal Glaucoma surgery Corneal surgery Strabismus surgery Oculoplastics

  27. Extendibility

  28. The Plan

  29. To Recap • 45 million blind worldwide. • 1 Cataract surgeon per million. • 50% of preventable blindness in Africa due to cataracts. • Our simulator offers the chance to dramatically speed up the training of new surgeons.
