Popis: BACKGROUND: Requirement of the good specimens of human eye showing all its muscles from their origin to insertion, optic nerve and ciliary ganglion has been always felt during the teaching of anatomy of human eye. AIM: To make Museum specimens of human eye showing eye ball with its muscles, nerves, vessels, ciliary ganglion and optic nerve for teaching of surgical and gross anatomy. These specimens may help in formation of better eye prosthesis used in the field of ophthalmic plastic surgeries. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Five cadavers were marked for procurement of specimens during routine dissection in dissection hall by undergraduates. Cranial vault and brain were already removed. Roof of orbit were removed by superior approach with preservation of apex with cone of muscles and optic nerve. Removal of superciliary arch with frontal approach was followed to obtain complete eye ball and other structures. Fine dissection was performed to clean the area for demonstration. Specimens were mounted by Kaiserling's technique in glass jars. RESULT: By this method ten specimens of eye were mounted showing all muscles with their origin and insertion, their nerve supply, optic nerve, ophthalmic artery and its branch entering into optic nerve in different views of different specimens. CONCLUSION: Ten specimens were procured from five cadavers dissected routinely in dissection hall by undergraduates. These specimens are providing a very good 3- dimensional view of eye and related structures. An interactive method of teaching using prosected specimens is raising a good satisfactory level among students.
