Impact of extended reality (XR) simulation on ophthalmology training outcomes: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis

Share

  • 1

    Extended reality (XR) simulations significantly reduce intraoperative complications in ophthalmic surgeries, enhancing patient safety.

  • 2

    XR training improves technical execution, as evidenced by higher global surgical scores and reduced operative duration.

  • 3

    The systematic review analyzed 32 studies involving 1,572 participants, confirming the efficacy of XR in ophthalmic education.

  • 4

    Trainee confidence generally increases with XR training, although perceptions of realism may vary among individuals.

  • 5

    Future research should explore XR's applications beyond cataract surgery and its role in developing non-technical skills.
