Medical simulations are becoming more advanced and more reliable in training medical students and new surgeons. Especially in the context of delicate surgeries, such as cataract surgery, the medical community is shifting from traditional medical training to sophisticated virtual reality simulations. In this thesis, we present a simulation built in a three-dimensional environment that aids in training medical residents to perform cataract surgeries. The application utilizes haptic devices as a means of interaction, which enriches the application by providing a sense of touch and force-feedback to users. In addition, we discuss our modeling of the environment and the decisions undertaken in the design. We also compare this 3D application with similar applications in terms of functionality but with different user interfaces, and mention what was the eye surgeon's reaction towards each interface in the training simulation. Finally, we conclude with future modifications of the application and describe a future direction.

This work contains the state-of-the-art in Virtual Reality as applied to Medicine. Interactive technology, used in many research and development programs, can be applied to health care by involving: robotics, computer vision, simulation, artificial intelligence, image manipulation and storage, data gloves, man-machine interfaces, etc. The Health Telematics Application Program, for example, is advancing virtual reality and enabling technologies (simulation, visualization and robotics) in health care services for patients, the elderly and persons with disabilities. This book addresses the following items from the end-user's perspective: technology transfer, telerobotics, telemedicine, education and training, and virtual reality. 'the book would (...) be useful for those researching interactive technologies in health care, especially virtual reality (...). It would be also of interest to people who want to keep abreast of the latest developments in techno-medical research.' - Rod Elford, Telemedicine Centre, Memorial University St John's, Newfoundland, Canada Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare, volume 2, no. 3, 1996, p. 178 Covered by Current Contents, Life Sciences (ISI), volume 38, no. 34, August 1995, p. 11-13
