Abstract
An accurate solid eye model (with volumetric retinal morphology) has many applications in the field of ophthalmology, including evaluation of ophthalmic instruments and optometry/ophthalmology training. We present a method that uses volumetric OCT retinal data sets to produce an anatomically correct representation of three-dimensional (3D) retinal layers. This information is exported to a laser scan system to re-create it within solid eye retinal morphology of the eye used in OCT testing. The solid optical model eye is constructed from PMMA acrylic, with equivalent optical power to that of the human eye (∼58D). Additionally we tested a water bath eye model from Eyetech Ltd. with a customized retina consisting of five layers of ∼60 μm thick biaxial polypropylene film and hot melt rubber adhesive.
