Artificial human eye and test apparatus

An artificial eye, comprising:

• a generally spherically shaped container having a first opening;
• a lens holder removably disposed in the first opening in the container;
• a first fluid disposed in the container;
• and
• a second fluid disposed in the lens holder;
• wherein the generally spherically shaped container comprises a substantially hemispherical posterior portion made of a substantially transparent material, a substantially hemispherical anterior portion made of a substantially opaque material and a fastener for attaching the posterior portion to the anterior portion and wherein the substantially transparent material comprises plexiglass, the substantially opaque material comprises one of aluminum and stainless steel and the fastener comprises two bands of aluminum.

An artificial eye, comprising:

• a generally spherically shaped container having a first opening;
• a lens holder removably disposed in the first opening in the container;
• a first fluid disposed in the container;
• and
• a second fluid disposed in the lens holder;
• wherein the generally spherically shaped container comprises a substantially hemispherical posterior portion made of a substantially transparent material, a substantially hemispherical anterior portion made of a substantially opaque material and a fastener for attaching the posterior portion to the anterior portion and wherein the substantially hemispherical posterior portion further comprises an interior surface that is frosted.

An artificial eye, comprising:

• a generally spherically shaped container having a first opening;
• a lens holder removably disposed in the first opening in the container;
• a first fluid disposed in the container;
• and
• a second fluid disposed in the lens holder;
• wherein the container is approximately 6.5 times the size of a human eye.

An artificial eye, comprising:

• a generally spherically shaped container having a first opening;
• a lens holder removably disposed in the first opening in the container;
• a first fluid disposed in the container;
• and
• a second fluid disposed in the lens holder;
• wherein the generally spherically shaped container comprises a substantially hemispherical posterior portion made of a substantially transparent material, a substantially hemispherical anterior portion made of a substantially opaque material and a fastener for attaching the posterior portion to the anterior portion and wherein the lens holder comprises a substantially cylindrical sleeve, a first lens disposed in the sleeve, an aperture disk disposed posterior to the first lens, a second lens disposed posterior to the aperture disk and end pieces disposed in both ends of the sleeve and further wherein an external surface of the sleeve and an internal surface of the first opening in the container are threaded so that the distance between the lens holder and the interior surface of the substantially hemispherical posterior portion may be adjusted.
