Early identification of conditions that can lead to blindness is critical for saving vision. The optical red-reflex test (RRT), which assesses the light reflections from the back of the eye, is a key exam for identifying adverse eye conditions in very young children. However, healthcare workers generally learn the RRT using peer practice and do not have the opportunity to observe abnormal reflexes, especially for rarer conditions, during training. The light reflections also differ in appearance between populations due to different pigmentation levels, so effective training requires practice with a diverse population. We have developed a set of 3D model eyes that aim to accurately mimic the response of eyes with varying pigmentation levels in the RRT, both for healthy eyes and pathologies that can be identified using the RRT. We characterized the optical properties of a set of full-color 3D printing materials (a white scattering material and four transparent colors - cyan, magenta, yellow and black). These properties were used to determine the number of layers, layer thicknesses, and color and scattering material combinations needed to match the reflectance of different fundi, given the constraints of the 3Dprinter. The model eyes can be used as an inexpensive tool for training a wide variety of health professionals to recognize abnormal reflections from the eye and as a reference standard for developing or calibrating eye screening instruments and tools.
