Antique optical eye model
Description
An interesting optical eye model, height is 28 cm, there’s a lens + the 2 external one. I assume they should demonstrate the difference between nearsightedness (myopia) and farsightedness (hyperopia), even if I can’t really understand the functioning: I would expected at least an additional lens but no additional slot to host it.
I’d guess from the first half of 1900’s, from an Italian maker of teaching models.
