A and B show a participant who scored 2 on the step “The sutures of the intraocular lens (IOL) haptics are made on the recommended orientation, without grasping the eyelets”. In figure A, the participant held the IOL by the haptic more than once during mentoring. In figure B, the participant introduced the forceps inside the haptic and opened the instrument, generating stress in it. Figures C and D show participants who had mentoring judged as a failure. In C a torn Akreos® haptic and in figure D we see an Akreos® with a damaged optic portion.The primary outcomes evaluated were the global score (the sum of each score on the rubric), surgical failure, and surgical time (in seconds).At the end of the training, the participants answered a form to classify the quality of the mentorship on a 5-point Likert scale for: communication with the mentor; SimulEYE® model use; mentorship experience; NGENUITY® 3D Visualization System use. These quality parameters were the secondary outcomes measured in this study.
