An artificial eye model for use in ophthalmological measurements exhibits a simulation of at least one eye structure, for instance of a cornea or of a crystalline lens. In accordance with the invention the simulation possesses fluorescent properties. In this way, a beam expansion as a result of multiple scattering in the case of scattered-light-based photographic recordings can be avoided. Instead of this, a sharp-contour imaging of the simulated eye structures is made possible.
