Schematic eyes with a homogeneous equivalent lens are inadequate for non-paraxial optics and available versions have been invalidly fitted to non-paraxial properties. A new model eye is analytically derived from the refractive index profile of the crystalline lens and anatomical measurements of the rat eye. It predicts spherical aberration, coma, paraxial properties and the variation of refractive state with pupil size in accord with experimental measurements. The cornea counteracts the spherical aberration and linear coma of the lens so that overall aberration is reduced and the eye is of good optical quality. The nodal point is invariant with object eccentricity in a manner advantageous to a species whose visual axis is displaced from the optic axis. The potential of the model lies in its extension to a study of such off-axis optics.
