The foundation of an ophthalmologists' microsurgical career begins in the wet lab. Training on donor cadaveric, animal like goat or pig eyes provide the most realistic surgical environment, however, the availability of a donor's eyes for practice is limited. This scarcity is further escalated in this current coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic where eye donations have decreased. Even among those eyes which find their way into the wet lab, quite a few would have collapsed significantly making training difficult. Therefore, we looked at ways to salvage these collapsed globes. We describe a novel way of salvaging the collapsed eyeballs by injecting formalin in slow boluses into the vitreous cavity. The longer maintenance of the globe integrity without necessitating repeated injections facilitates better quality of surgical training and optimal utilization of these eyes.

用于眼科湿实验室实践的福尔马林辅助训练眼睛。

眼科医生显微外科事业的基础始于湿实验室。对供体尸体、山羊或猪等动物的眼睛进行培训提供了最真实的手术环境，但是，供体眼睛用于实践的可用性有限。在当前的 2019 年冠状病毒病大流行中，这种稀缺性进一步升级，眼睛捐赠减少了。即使在那些进入湿实验室的眼睛中，也有相当多的眼睛会严重塌陷，从而使训练变得困难。因此，我们研究了打捞这些倒塌的地球仪的方法。我们描述了一种通过将福尔马林缓慢推注到玻璃体腔中来挽救塌陷眼球的新方法。
