Abstract
Cataract surgery is one of the most common operations performed worldwide. Therefore, the computer aided training system is important to reduce the risk resulted from an inexperience surgery performance. We introduced a novel optical tracking method for the surgical instrument in a cataract surgery training system, which is equipped with infrared cameras on top of and inside the eye model. Our system is suitable for augmented reality training environment and allowed trainees to manipulate with a real surgical tool. Also, our system used only 2 cameras for tracking and provided high resolution on the tip of the surgical tool.
