AB  - OBJECTIVE: To compare the traditional teaching approach of binocular indirect 
      ophthalmoscopy (BIO) to the EyeSI augmented reality (AR) BIO simulator. DESIGN: 
      Prospective randomized control trial. PARTICIPANTS: 28 post-graduate year one 
      (PGY1) ophthalmology residents. METHODS: Residents were recruited at the 2012 
      Toronto Ophthalmology Residents Introductory Course (TORIC). 15 were randomized 
      to conventional teaching (Group 1), and 13 to augmented reality simulator 
      training (Group 2). 3 vitreoretinal fellows were enrolled to serve as experts. 
      Evaluations were completed on the simulator, with 3 tasks, and outcome measures 
      were total raw score, total time elapsed, and performance. RESULTS: Following 
      conventional training, Group 1 residents were outperformed by vitreoretinal 
      fellows with respect to all 3 outcome measures. Following AR training, Group 2 
      residents demonstrated superior total scores and performance compared to Group 1 
      residents. Once the Group 1 residents also completed the AR BIO training, there 
      was a significant improvement compared to their baseline scores, and were now on 
      par with Group 2 residents. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides construct validity 
      for the EyeSI AR BIO simulator and demonstrates that it may be superior to 
      conventional BIO teaching for novice ophthalmology residents.
