The measurement of intraocular pressure via ocular tonometry is a skill necessary for the evaluation of emergency department patients with ocular complaints. Accurate results inform the use of time-sensitive medications or invasive procedures. We sought to develop and evaluate an affordable, realistic, and reproducible task trainer to allow Emergency Medicine residents and medical students to practice tonometry. We placed an angiocatheter into the vitreous chamber of a swine eye through the optic nerve stump and sealed it with a purse string suture and cyanoacrylate glue. This allowed us to connect intravenous extension tubing and use a saline-filled syringe to repeatedly adjust intraocular pressure in real time. Optionally, this model can be mounted in a polystyrene foam mannequin head to enhance realism and facilitate practice. The task trainer was implemented in medical student and Emergency Medicine resident education at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Thirty-six learners participated in the study, all of whom completed pre-course and post-course surveys. Among all learners, the mean comfort with performing tonometry improved significantly (3.26 to 7.64 {Z = -4.95, p < 0.005}). The mean confidence in the accuracy of measurements also increased (3.11 to 7.56 {Z = -4.8, p < 0.005}). On a 10-point scale, learners felt this task trainer was highly helpful in increasing their comfort with and the ability to perform tonometry (mean 9.19 {SD 1.19}). We have developed a low-cost and easily constructed ocular tonometry task trainer that resulted in significant improvement in learner comfort and confidence.
