An eye model comprises a sclera simulation which is made of a bright plastic material, the plastic material containing a polyvinyl chloride at least as the main component, and a pattern which 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 which is formed from a first of the blank flat sides, and a convexly curved peripheral surface which surrounds the flattened area in a ring-like manner. The method also comprises forming the pattern on an area on the first blank flat side which corresponds to the first flattened area.
