The capability of latest computed tomography technology in generating three-dimensional patient model for graphical representation is very informative for surgeons to plan and make decision before the operation. This initiates the idea of implementing the model into computer-generated simulator for surgical education and training. This paper presents the development of virtual reality cataract surgery simulator. Three-dimensional eye model and surgical instruments are generated as the virtual surgical environment. The system is equipped with a pair of haptic devices to provide actual sensation. The results show that the simulator is capable of providing interactive training on the main procedures of cataract surgery. It has the potential to be incorporated as part of the curriculum of medical program when the proposed future work in the end of the paper is completed. 2014-04-06T15:18:29Z 2014-04-06T15:18:29Z 2013 Article Procedia Computer Science, vol. 18, 2013, pages 742-748 1877-0509 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/33439 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.procs.2013.05.238 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877050913003815 en Elsevier Ltd.
