Abstract:

 With the success and development of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) , its demanding prompts the spreading this technique. However, the professional learning has been prevented for some reasons, for example, the complex skill of the surgery procedure. The traditional teaching model cannot display the three-dimensional (3D) anatomical structure of cornea, so we carried out 3D animation teaching model. The new model can vividly show the procedure and corneal anatomical structure, promote the students’ mastery and application of the technique and help to acquire better effect of teaching about SMILE.
