title: Special eyeglasses for use in microsurgery.
abstract: Special eyeglasses, designed to be used with the operating microscope, are described. These eyeglasses, which fit inside the eyecups of the oculars of the microscope, give the wearer a better view through the microscope than do conventional glasses and at the same time enable him to shift his vision to the surgical field or the instrument table without a sacrifice in clarity. Because they permit the wearer to maintain the eyecups of the oculars in the "up" position, the eyeglasses also prevent interference from outside illumination.
