Eyeball simulator for extraocular muscles.

Learning about human eye movements broadens our comprehension of the visuomotor system and aids in the effective management of strabismus. One's clinical practice is improved by a dynamic simulation of human eye movements using physical models of the extraocular muscles (EOMs). We use our eyeball model to teach the basics of strabismus to undergraduate students and ophthalmology residents.
