The artificial eye according to the Gullstrand specifications uses a cornea made of polymethylmethacrylate, an artificial pupil, a mounting for the intraocular lens (IOL), and a retinal plane made of glass. The distance between the IOL and the retinal plane can be adjusted by means of a micrometer screw. The image is magnified with a microscope lens and visualized using a digital camera connected to a personal computer. δ Indicates pinhole diameter; Ω, viewing angle; δ′, diameter of the retinal pinhole image; Δ, diameter of the investigated area on the retina; Δ′, diameter of the investigated area on the chip of the digital camera (CCD-ARRAY); fC, focal length of the collimator lens; fE, focal length of the eye; a, distance between the retina and the microscope objective; and b, distance between the microscope objective and the CCD-ARRAY.
