An eye model comprises a sclera simulation that comprises a bright plastic material, the plastic material comprising a polyvinyl chloride at least as the main component. The eye model also includes a pattern that contrasts in color with the sclera simulation, the pattern simulating an eye pupil and/or an iris structure. In a method for producing the eye model, a plate-shaped or rectangular blank of the plastic material having two oppositely situated blank flat sides is used, from which an eye body is separated by cutting or chipping machining. The separated eye body has a flattened area that is formed from a first blank flat side, and a convexly curved peripheral surface that surrounds the flattened area in a ring-like manner.
