    • This model of the eye is for patient education in myopia and hyperopia - or refractive error. The Myopia/Hyperopia Model dynamically demonstrates how the focal length of the eye is changed by lens correction. The two chords realistically simulate both a myopic or hyperopic foci.

    Many patients find current explanations about how and why the eye focuses, difficult to understand and may be apprehensive about lenses whose function they don't comprehend.

    The model provides the opportunity to ease patient uncertainty. Quick and easy to use, this unique model will save the doctor or technician time.

    The model also shows a cross section of the eye in three layers; the retina, choroid, the sclera with veins and arteries, interior and exterior, including central retinal. It is made of plastic, measures six (6) inches in diameter, and is mounted on a white, opaque plastic base. It is realistically colored and textured and the cornea, optic nerve, and insertion of muscle are shown.
