In cataract surgery there are three main kinds of simulation I'm aware of.

1. Computerized i.e. Eyesi Surgical Simulator

2. Practice surgery with real equipment on synthetic eyes designed to replicate human tissue

3. Practice surgery with real equipment on human cadaver / pig cadaver eyes

Many ophthalmology residency programs use a combination of these for training.
