Anatomically, the model shows the layers of the eye, which consist of the following:
The outermost layer, made up of the transparent cornea, which at the limbus is connected to the sclera (the white tendon that makes up the back 5/6)
The middle layer (called the uvea) which consists of the iris (rainbow) incl. the pupil, the corpus ciliare (the ciliary body) which can only be seen on the model and the choroid (choroid)
The inner layer called the retina
In addition, the movement apparatus of the eye can be seen on the outside, which consists of 6 striated muscles - the 4 straight muscles called musculi recti and the 2 oblique muscles called musculi obliqui.
Inside the eye model is the vitreous body (corpus vitreum), and at the back is the optic nerve (nervus opticus) in relation to blood vessels.
The eye model can be split so that the layers can be studied (see images to the left).
Furthermore, the lens and the entire vitreous body can be removed.
