International audienceThis paper describes a single simulation framework to perform interactive cataract surgery simulations. Contributions includes advanced bio-mechanical models and intensive use of modern graphics hard- ware to provide fast computation times. Surgical de- vices are replicated and located in a real-time thanks to infra-red tracking. Combination of a high-fidelity simulation and actual surgical tools are able to im- prove surgeon immersion while training. Preliminary tests have been performed by experienced ophthal- mologists to qualitatively assess the face-validity of the simulator and the faithfulness of the behavior of the anatomical structures as well as the interactions with the surgical tools
