Abstract
Many surgeons use prism lenses to see the periphery of the fundus during vitrectomy; however, chromatic aberrations in higher-power prismatic lenses cause blurring of the peripheral image. For better visualization of the periphery of the fundus, we developed a new contact lens, the double-mirror peripheral vitrectomy lens. The new lens is a quartz cylinder with two mirrors, and it provides a crisp, clear, upright image of much more of the peripheral fundus than is visible through conventional prism lenses. The new lens also provides a wider area of view than conventional prism lenses.
