| Abstract | Background Lacrimal irrigation is a fundamental skill for diagnosing and managing lacrimal diseases. This study evaluates two lacrimal irrigation techniques and introduces a haptic-visual integrated self-serve training model to enhance skill acquisition among novice ophthalmology residents. Methods Ninety-two ophthalmology residents were randomized into Group A (n = 47) and Group B (n = 45). Both groups completed an 8-hour training program comprising theoretical instruction, demonstrations, and hands-on practice. Group A provided feedback to refine the training model, which was subsequently implemented in Group B1 (n = 23), while Group B2 (n = 22) served as the control. Outcomes were assessed through skill evaluations and post-training questionnaires measuring confidence scores and perceived efficacy. Results In Group A, 70.2% of participants preferred Technique 1 for its perceived ease of use, while 29.8% favored Technique 2 for pressurized irrigation scenarios (p < 0.05). Key barriers to proficiency included the absence of suitable training models (63.8%) and psychological anxiety (25.5%). In Group B, participants using the training model (Group B1) demonstrated significantly higher confidence scores compared to Group B2 (8.4 ± 1.2 vs. 6.1 ± 1.5, p < 0.05). Although skill assessment scores showed a positive trend in Group B1 (80.7 ± 8.3 vs. 76.8 ± 9.1), the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusion Both lacrimal irrigation techniques are equally accessible to novices, with Technique 2 offering advantages in pressurized irrigation. The self-serve training model significantly enhances procedural confidence and addresses critical training barriers, including resource limitations and psychological safety. Future studies should validate these findings in larger cohorts and refine the model to incorporate enhanced simulation techniques and dynamic physiological feedback. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
