The present invention contemplates an infant eye model for wide field retinal imaging by implementing nominal physical parameters and optical characteristics found in scientific literature and by simulating retinal features and details found in real eye images. The present invention also contemplates implementing a corneal model with a translucent plastic to mimic image haze and 1st Purkinje reflection. The present invention also contemplates implementing a birefringent layer to the lens posterior surface to simulate 4th Purkinje reflection and its brightness variation. The present invention further contemplates implementing a photo-realistic retinal hemisphere shell to provide retinal details and demonstrate retinopathy associated with retinal diseases.
