Purpose:
Recording ophthalmic microsurgical videos has enormous advantages for reflective practice and continuing professional development. We report a novel, inexpensive method of capturing microsurgical video.
Setting:
Royal Free Hospital, London, United Kingdom
Methods:
Our method utilizes a laptop, which many Ophthalmologists already possess, an inexpensive video capture device and a connector. Videos are recorded directly from the microscope video output onto the hard drive of a laptop.
Results:
We found our method was quicker, cheaper and more convenient to Ophthalmologists compared to other techniques previously reported. It reduces the necessity for purchasing recording media i.e. VHS tapes DVD-R discs. Videos also do not need to be transferred and are saved into a digital format making them easy to edit or embed in presentations.
Conclusions:
This would be of interest to many Ophthalmologists who are interested in either teaching through video presentations or in learning through reflective surgical practice. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE?: No
