A model eye was found to be a practical and versatile simulator of
conditions present in the application of different surgical and diagnostic
ophthalmic instruments. It realistically simulated the thermal and acoustic
effects of lasers on tissues and thus could be used for teaching and
practicing laser therapeutics. The geometric optics were similar to those
of the human eye, and realistic conditions of scatter and fluorescence
could be created.
