Data underlying the MSc thesis: 2 DoF surgical training eye phantom for cataract surgery in a low-cost setting

Matlab file, excel files with datasets, Labview file and Solidworks file from the mechanical analysis of the eye phantom (from the Master thesis).<br>About the project:<br>'The present research work aims at designing a cataract surgery eye phantom for capsulorhexis and globe fixation, which can replicate the movement of the eyeball in the orbit coupled with the inherent passive stiffness. The project culminates in the design of a 2-degree-of-freedom anterior human eye phantom with anatomically similar features of the human eye needed for training the aforementioned surgical steps. A significant part of the prototype structure is 3D printed using Draft resin V2 on the Formlabs Form 3+ printer to create minute yet almost anatomically impeccable components. Mechanical analyses were performed to tune the passive stiffness of the compliant mechanisms, and materials such as PlatSil Gel-00, hydrogel, and eggshell membrane were chosen and utilized to replicate the interactions between the tools and various tissues in the human eye. Clinical evaluations were conducted by a surgeon performing capsulorhexis on the prototype in a wet lab environment and several validation tests by an academic trainer for the suitability and practicality of the prototype.'<br>The method to use the files attached to this dataset has been explained in the "Experimental setup, protocols, and validation" chapter of the thesis report.

项目概况：
本研究旨在设计一款用于连续环形撕囊 (capsulorhexis) 和眼球固定的白内障手术眼部体模，该体模可模拟眼球在眼眶内的运动，并具备固有的被动刚度。本项目最终完成了一款二自由度人前眼部体模的设计，其具备前述手术步骤训练所需的、与人类眼球解剖结构高度相似的特征。该原型的核心结构采用Formlabs Form 3+打印机，以Draft树脂V2进行3D打印，以制造出精细且几乎完美符合解剖学特征的组件。研究通过力学分析调整柔顺机构的被动刚度，并选用PlatSil Gel-00、水凝胶 (hydrogel) 以及蛋壳膜等材料，模拟手术工具与人类眼部各组织间的交互作用。一名外科医生在湿实验室环境中对该原型开展连续环形撕囊操作以进行临床评估，另有一名学术培训师开展了多组验证测试，以验证该原型的适用性与实用性。
