What is known:
• Teaching laser photocoagulation can be challenging due to insufficient control over trainee performance
• Simulation-based training devices and programs are lacking
What is new:
• Image-based laser photocoagulation technology can be used as a simulation-based platform for teaching basics of retinal
laser treatments
• This program consists of didactic learning, observation of treatments, teleguided treatments and graded exam
