Abstract

An ophthalmic lens which has three elements, a contact lens, a center lens, and an entry lens. The lens produces a wide field, aerial image of the fundus of the eye. The lens is particularly useful because it provides high resolution of the peripheral retina, and causes little or no distortion of the laser beam used for peripheral fundus laser treatment.
