A wide-field, high-resolution ophthalmoscopic contact lens.
A new inverted-image ophthalmoscopic contact lens provides 2X laser spot magnification and a 117 degrees degree instantaneous field of view. It has three times the resolution of very wide-field, inverted-image ophthalmoscopic contact lenses to permit effective use of higher slit-lamp magnifications. The lens was designed for transpupillary thermotherapy with large lesions and panretinal photocoagulation with hazy ocular media.
