Claim:
An ophthalmoscope simulator for simulation of the manual manipulation of an ophthalmoscope, comprising: a support which can be applied to the head of an observer, which support bears at least one first image display, which display can be positioned ahead of one eye of the observer for representation of a virtual reality, a position recognition system whereby a spatial position and/or orientation or relative position of the support is determinable, and a computer whereby an image of the surroundings and/or of a patient head can be displayed to the observer via the at least one first image display; wherein the simulator further comprises an ophthalmoscope dummy and a patient head dummy, wherewith the patient head dummy has at least one peripheral surface bearing a patient eye position, wherewith by the position recognition system the spatial position and/or orientation of the ophthalmoscope dummy and/or of the patient head dummy relative to the support can be determined; and wherein an image component can be superimposed in the image displayed to the observer, in addition to or alternatively to the image of the ophthalmoscope dummy, wherewith the image component represents a virtual retina and/or virtual surroundings.
