mEyeSim vs Cataract Logbook

mEyeSim by A Nu Reality is a mixed reality app for ophthalmology education. Designed for medical students and residents, the app provides guided lessons for clinical exam skills practice on a virtual patient and three-dimensional anatomic models to learn clinically relevant concepts and explore pathology. Created by a team of board-certified ophthalmologists with over 30 years of teaching and hands-on clinical experience, this app breaks ophthalmology topics into short, clinically relevant guided lessons that fit modern learning habits. It combines expert instruction with immersive technology via both 3D models and augmented reality to help learners grasp complex concepts efficiently and effectively. It’s the knowledge gained over years of apprenticeship, delivered in minutes. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Cataract Logbook is a tool for ophthalmology residents to easily track and reflect on their cataract surgeries using a structured, step-based approach. Built around the reverse training method published in BMJ Open Ophthalmology by Malavazzi, Lake & Soriano (2019, DOI: 10.1136/bmjophth-2018-000190), the app mirrors the progressive steps of phacoemulsification, helping residents learn safely and improve with confidence. Residents log each surgery by step, rate their own performance, and export data for structured review or academic presentation. The app was designed by cataract surgeon Jonathan Lake, MD, and aims to flatten the steep learning curve of phaco while building a clear, exportable surgical record for training and beyond.
