The optometry game: enhancing test selection and lens prescribing skills by use of computer simulations.
The Optometry Game is a computer simulation developed to aid students in practicing test selection and lens prescription skills. Features of the simulation include a game format, digitally reproduced voices and patient pictures, and the ability of the user to customize the game for a variety of applications. Twenty optometry students evaluated the game by playing a variety of simulated patients and found it to be potentially useful in various classroom learning environments.
