Come check out the Academy’s new VR Education program for yourself at the Resource Center, Booth 1408.
It was made possible by a generous $5 million donation from the Knights Templar Eye Foundation, the largest single donation in the Academy Foundation’s history.
We collaborated with FundamentalVR, a leader in virtual reality (VR) medical training, to create the simulation platform. It’s free and open for ophthalmologists and trainees around the world to expand their skill in diagnosing and treating eye diseases and conditions.
The first phase of the program focuses on pediatric ophthalmology, specifically retinopathy of prematurity.
