Effectiveness of simulation-based training for manual small incision cataract surgery among novice surgeons: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract This study was designed to determine the effect of a novel simulation-based training curriculum for scleral tunnel construction in manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) compared with traditional training. In this multicenter, investigator-masked, randomized clinical trial, resident...
