Foreign Body Removal

Practice makes better

PROBLEM

The removal of an embedded foreign body, such as a tiny piece of metal, from the cornea is a critically important skill for an optometrist to practice, such that it can be easily and confidently removed when presented with such a situation in clinical practice. However, most students receive fairly minimal and rudimentary training to develop the skills required to perform this technique in a confident and competent manner...

Solution

OUR SOLUTION

The OcuBall is a simple eye model that is constructed with similar consistency to an actual human eye. Using a novel method, we have inserted steel metal particulates on the surface of the eyes to realistically simulate embedded foreign bodies. When left for a period of time, these metal pieces can rust (just like they do in humans) and form the typical rust ring observed in real clinical scenarios...

PROUDLY USED BY

"This has been our third year using the OcuBlink eyeballs in our didactic labs. There is of course the immediate "wow" factor from the students when first seeing the eyeballs but most importantly our 2nd years absolutely love the "real" feel that the eyeballs give when removing foreign bodies. The eyeballs have become a wonderful addition to our curriculum." - Illinois College of Optometry
