Foreign Body Removal 2.0
Practice makes better
WHAT'S NEW IN OCUBALL 2.0
We really liked our first eyeballs (Ocuball) for FBR, and so we decided to make them better. With Ocuball 2.0, we've reduced our waste products by 70%! To achieve this, we've created a re-usable adapter that seamlessly connects to the OcuBall 2.0. So now you can practice as much as you'd like without feeling wasteful! Thank you for all of your feedback that have made this version possible.
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...
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...
