A model human eye that is structurally suited for practicing surgical techniques, including extraocular muscle resection and recession, is presented. The model eye comprises a hemispherical-shaped, bottom assembly having multiple retinal layers and a hemispherical-shaped, integrally molded top assembly having a visually transparent cornea portion surrounding a visually opaque sclera portion. The model eye further comprises an annular iris, a lenticular bag, an anterior chamber having a first fluid disposed therein, and a posterior chamber having a second fluid disposed therein. The model human eye further comprises a cylindrical member extending outwardly from the sclera portion, where the cylindrical member mimics an optic nerve, and a cone-shaped elastomeric assembly attached to a distal end of the cylindrical member and having four elastomeric members extending outwardly, where a distal end of each elastomeric member is attached to the sclera portion, and where each of the elastomeric members mimics a rectus muscle.
