Pathological Eye Model

This human eye model shows an eye enlarged by a factor of 5. The didactilcally simplified representations of the retina and lens illustrates typical changes that occur in a healthy eye due to common diseases. This model can demonstrate subcapsular cataract, cortical cataract, nuclear cataract, diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, papillary changes of glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, papilloedema, central retinal arterial occlusion, central retinal venous occlusion, and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Using Models @ RowanSOM Library

  • Most Rowan-Virtua SOM Anatomy Models are kept on the table across from the Front Desk or on top of the short glass cabinet in the middle of the library.  They may be used anytime.  We ask that you return the model to its original location after use.
  • Some models (those with a lot of loose parts) are kept in the glass case beside the Front Desk or behind the Desk.  Ask for these at the Front Desk, and we'll hold your Rowan ID while you use the model. 
  • The models are tagged with QR codes which link to the correlating section of Netter Atlas of Anatomy, or in some instances an alternative text.
  • Models must be used in the library (except male and female torsos)
  • Students may use 1 model at a time
  • We ask that users be conscious of others who may be waiting to use a model and limit your use to periods not exceeding 2 hours.
