“Help me see inc., is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes in the united states and abroad within the meaning of sections 170(c)(2)(b) and 501 (c)(3) of the internal revenue code of 1986, as amended. Specifically, helpmesee seeks to eliminate cataract blindness worldwide by vastly increasing the number of qualified cataract specialists to treat cataract blindness and visual impairment. To accomplish its mission, helpmesee is developing a highly structured training system adapted from commercial aviation pilot training dedicated to delivering high-quality training in manual small incision cataract surgery (msics). This technique was chosen as it is exponentially less expensive yet delivers quality outcomes for all cataract types prevalent in the developing world. Well trained cataract specialists will be able to provide low cost, high volume, and available treatment to millions of cataracts blind and visually impaired who previously had no access to treatment. The principal activities to accomplish the exempt purpose of helpmesee, are: design, development, and deployment of virtual reality eye surgery simulator-based training system and; support a worldwide network of msics learning centers located in the areas of greatest need. Cataracts make up the majority of all global blindness, according to the world health organization. Estimates are between 18.4 and 20.07 million people worldwide are bilaterally blind from cataracts, and as many as 82.8 million are visually impaired due to untreated cataracts. These numbers will increase as population and age. The world needs a scalable, sustainable solution to eliminate the cataract surgical backlog: a) high-quality simulation-based cataract surgical skills training to meet the current and future demand for an estimated 30,000 cataract specialists required throughout the developing world; b) promote the proven safe and affordable msics treatment to rapidly eliminate the backlog of at least 20 million cataract patients awaiting surgery. The key to the training of thousands of cataract specialist depends on the helpmesee eye surgery simulator, a virtual reality (v.r.) training device. The simulator offers high fidelity spatial, visual, and tactile realism. It is designed to provide a controlled practice environment to acquire msics proficiency and other microsurgical skills, whether to a novice trainee or an experienced surgeon in a virtually indistinguishable environment to real surgery. It promotes surgical safety and eliminates training risks to patients. The helpmesee simulator-based learning system features sophisticated instructor-led courseware with standardized task-based steps, scenarios, with complications. The simulator allows repeated practice by trainees to achieve proficiency with objectively measurable performance scores.”
