Abstract
We have constructed a simple and inexpensive simulation model for the educational instruction of health care providers to detect normal and abnormal ocular conditions in the bedside emergency setting. Such a training model serves to increase the comfort level in performing ocular ultrasound examinations and can increase the accuracy of examination interpretation. Ophthalmologic examinations can be difficult in the emergency setting, and ultrasound has become a useful tool in the diagnosis of emergent ocular conditions.
