Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Vitrectomy requires clear visualization of the fundus for surgical safety.
  • Magnification of the peripheral fundus during vitrectomy has historically been limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel contact lenses for enhanced visualization of the peripheral fundus.
  • To improve the safety and scope of magnification during vitrectomy procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Development of two magnifying prismatic lenses (15 and 30 degrees) using high-refractive-index glass (n=1.883).
  • Lenses feature a convex upper surface designed for magnified peripheral fundus viewing.

Main Results:

  • The magnifying prismatic lenses provide approximately 2x magnification of the peripheral fundus.

  • These lenses offer a more extensive view of the peripheral fundus compared to standard prismatic lenses, especially with eye tilting.

    • Conclusions:

    • Magnifying prismatic lenses are effective tools for viewing the peripheral fundus with increased magnification.
    • These lenses enhance surgical capabilities during vitrectomy by improving peripheral visualization.
