ABSTRACT:
A structural eye assembly is provided comprising replaceable components exhibiting healthy conditions, pathological states and post-surgical conditions, and a related method thereto. The assembly preferably comprises a spherical eye body of structural (sturdy) soft and somewhat pliable material in the shape of human eye, preferably in an enlarged scale relative to the human eye for the ease of observation of the various structural components. The assembly includes a cornea which is replaceable with a plurality of corneas exhibiting various pathological structures and structural damages. The removable cornea is made of a clear, soft and pliable material to simulate a human cornea. Corneal pathological states are exhibited on various replaceable corneas to allow the educator or physician to selectively demonstrate the pathological state to the student or patient. The crystalline lens also is removable and the assembly includes replaceable lenses which exhibit various pathological structures, such as cataracts, as well as a intraocular lens implant rendition. The eye assembly also contains a liquid filled central cavity to simulate the vitreous humor, and within it vitreous floaters. Also demonstrated by this model are normal and abnormal retinal conditions. Optionally, also shown by this model is a fine layer surrounding the assembly to represent human conjunctiva.
