Eye Demo
An eye model is available to demonstrate how vision works. Focus can be
demonstrated by using the attached syringes to adjust the volume of fluid
in the
lens. Far-sightedness and near-sightedness can be demonstrated by
adjusting the distance between the back of the model and the lens.
A set of corrective lenses can be used to demonstrate how glasses can fix
eyesight problems. For large classrooms, vi
deo equipment is used to allow
classroom viewing.
