A method and an apparatus for demonstrating optical properties of a lens for spectacle glasses are disclosed. A demonstrational tool exposes a spectacle lens or a pair of spectacle glasses to polarized light to demonstrate how the removal of polarized, reflected light from a display reduces glare. Further, the demonstrational tool exposes a phototrope lens or a pair of spectacle glasses with phototrope lenses to UV- or HEV-light to demonstrate the reversible self-tinting of the phototrope lenses.

The present invention relates to a demonstration device enabling the contrast of mask filters comprising a cabinet wherein a dust cavity and a demonstration cavity with right opening are formed with a partition plate. On the partition plate is set a communication port to communicate the dust cavity with the demonstration cavity. On the upper part of the demonstration cavity, are set a dust collecting movable motor and a dust collecting movable screw which cooperate with each other, and on the said dust collecting movable screw, a dust collecting movable block is fixed by plug push cooperation. To the lower end of the dust collecting movable block, a dust collecting rotary motor is installed and under the dust collecting rotary motor, a dust collecting frame is installed. In the middle of the dust collecting frame, a dust collecting partition plate is installed. On the bottom of the dust collecting frame and on both sides of the dust collecting partition plates, dust collecting contrast blocks are installed. On either right and left sides of the dust collecting frame, a mask filter and contrast device which use masks to function which are both connected to the inner cavities are respectively installed. Both the mask filters and contrast devices are connected to the communication port. The present invention may directly present the dust-proof effects of the mask filters compared with common facial masks and achieve good teaching experience.

A model for simulating surgery upon the eye has a posterior and an anterior segment. The posterior segment includes structures corresponding to those of the eye, including a hollow globe and an image of the fundus positioned upon an interior, posterior portion of the globe. A mating portion is peripherally formed about an open end of the globe. The anterior segment also includes structures corresponding to those of the eye, including a translucent lens, and another mating portion peripherally formed about a posterior portion of the anterior segment. The mating portions of the posterior and anterior segments releasably connect the posterior and anterior segments. A vitreous substitute material can be added into the posterior segment and is sealed within when the anterior segment is attached.

An ophthalmological teaching aid includes a shell having an outer surface, an interior, a student region with a viewing window, and an observation target in the interior of the shell. The observation target is positioned to be visible to a viewer looking through the viewing window and has at least one feature residing at a feature location. The teaching aid also includes an instructor region spatially corresponding to at least a portion of the observation target. The teaching aid includes a landmark corresponding to the feature location. The presence of the landmark enables the instructor to assess a student's skill in using an ophthalmoscope.

A polyhedral optical conduit having a longitudinal axis, a first transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and a second transverse axis perpendicular to both the longitudinal axis and the first transverse axis. The polyhedral optical conduit includes a plurality of parallel sides. Two of the parallel sides define openings (e.g., apertures) that further define a passageway there between. The passageway includes an optical device disposed within it, typically oriented in the plane defined by the transverse axes. Electromagnetic radiation, e.g., light, is projected into the passageway. When the light exits the passageway it may appear differently depending on the orientation of the polyhedral optical conduit and the optical device therein. This provides a visual representation of quantum phenomena.
