A comparative study of irrigation techniques and the development of a self-serve training model for ophthalmology residents
Both lacrimal irrigation techniques are equally accessible to novices, with Technique 2 offering advantages in pressurized irrigation. The self-serve training model significantly enhances procedural confidence and addresses critical training barriers, including resource limitations and psychological safety. Future studies should validate these findings in larger cohorts and refine the model to incorporate enhanced simulation techniques and dynamic physiological feedback.
