ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a device for simulating life-like conditions during eye surgery. The device includes a prosthetic head which includes an eye socket coupled to a fluid line adapted to create negative pressure or a vacuum in the eye socket. An eye for practicing surgical techniques can be placed in the socket and negative pressure used to hold the eye in the socket in a manner which feels analogous to the way an eye feels to a surgeon operating on a live human.
