The world of virtual reality‐based training is gradually reaching into the field of ophthalmology, but the methodology for creating high‐fidelity simulation tools is largely unexplored and slowly catching up with the curve of available technology. This paper explores many of the challenges involved in the development of new technology in the hopes of encouraging research and development.
