Abstract	One way to motivate students' interest in physics is to teach it in the context of medicine. Optics, for example, can be taught with examples from the eye. For many years simple optics of lenses has been taught using a model of the eye. However, recent advances in using lasers for ophthalmological (ocular) examinations can be used to increase motivation and provide a look at sophisticated use of lasers in ophthalmology. This paper describes a set of experiments that help students learn about contemporary methods of ophthalmological examinations that do not require the traditional approach of placing many lenses in front of the patient's eyes.
