A human cadaver eye model for anterior and posterior segment laser applications
Ophthalmic Surg.
1994 Jul.
Abstract
We have developed a cadaver eye model that allows anterior and posterior segment laser procedures to be performed under closely simulated in vivo conditions. The model consists of a reusable container with an artificial cornea with a refractive power and an anterior radius of curvature similar to those of the human cornea, and a fresh cadaver eye, prepared by removing the cornea and adjusting the biometric parameters to normal values. This cadaver eye model appears to be a valuable tool for teaching and practicing anterior and posterior segment laser procedures, as well as for research on new laser systems and applications.
