ADVANTAGES
1. Larger field of retina visible
2. Lesser distortion of image of retina
3. Easier to examine , if patient ‘s eye movements are present and with high
spherical or astigmatic refractive errors
4. Easy visualization of retina anterior to equator , where most retinal holes and
degenerations exist
5. It gives a 3D stereoscopic view of the retina wth considerable depth of focus
6. Useful in Hazy media because of its bright light and optical property
DISADVANTAGES
1. Magnification in indirect ophthalmoscopy is 5 times
2. Impossible with very small pupils
3. Patient usually more uncomfortable with intense light and scleral indentation
4. Reflex sneezing on exposure to bright light
5. Requires extensive practice in technique
 Volk's 60D,78D and 90D fundus lenses with slit lamp indirect
ophthalmoscopy as a standard diagnostic procedure for comprehensive
fundus evaluation.
 Double aspheric lenses
 Optics of indirect fundus biomicroscopy is similar to that of indirect
ophthalmoscopy.
 Image formed is real, inverted, laterally reversed.
Technique
 The patient’s pupil may be dilated and background lights dimmed
as for direct ophthalmoscopy.
 Patient is positioned comfortably at the slit lamp.
 The slit lamp viewing piece and the light column are kept at
an angle of 90 degrees.
 Set illumination angle coaxial with the slit lamp-viewing system
 The illumination is kept low, the slit beam at a width of 2-3 mm
and length of 5-10mm
 Magnification preferably set at 10× initially or 16 x
 The beam is focused onto the patient’s pupil and the +78 or +90 D
condensing lens aligned at around 5-10 mm from the patient’s cornea.
 The slit lamp is then pulled backwards gradually towards the examiner
until the fundal glow is visualised
 Reflections can be reduced by slightly tilting the lens
 As with indirect ophthalmoscopy, the image from a non-contact Volk Lens slit
lamp biomicroscopic examination is inverted and laterally reversed.
 To view peripheral retina, ask patient to look into appropriate positions of
gaze as with standard indirect ophthalmoscopy
 Magnification= power of eye x magnification of slit lamp
power of lens
Eg . Magnification of + 90 D = 60/90 x 10 = 7.6
 Thus magnification is inversely proportional while,
Field of view is directly proportional to the power of the lens.
Stereopsis = magnification / 4 .
Field of view = (D.P. of the lens x 2 )
Principle of Indirect Ophthalmoscopy
 To make the eye highly Myopic by placing a
 strong Convex lens in front of it.
+90 D lens
 The original Volk 90D lens started the slit
lamp examination.
 relatively wide field of view with a good
resolution
 Real inverted image
 General diagnosis and small pupil
examinations.
 It features a small 26mm diameter ring is
ideal for dynamic fundoscopy.
 The Volk 90D has very good small pupil
capabilities, making it ideal for a quick look
at the posterior pole.
 Working distance from the cornea is 6.5mm.
60D
 High Magnification Views of the Posterior Pole.
 High magnification lens for detailed optic disc and macula
imaging.
 Ideal diameter for use in the orbital area.
 ( Its 31mm diameter allows a wide field of view and facilitates
 easy handling within the orbital area.)
 • Working distance from the cornea is 11mm.
78D
The Double Aspheric 78D is an excellent general diagnosis .
 Ideal balance of magnification and field of view.
 Working distance from the cornea is 7mm.
Advantages :
1.Stereoscopic ,3 dimensional view of the retina-Binocular viewing
through the slit lamp.
2.Better image achieved when viewing through media opacities -
Cataract.
3.Allows for manipulation of image- Slit lamp magnification& filters.
4.Image size less affected by patient refractive error.
Hruby lens
 Plano-concave lens with diopteric power of -58.6D, which neutralises the
optical power of the eye (+ 60 D)
 To be placed 10-12 mm in front of patient’s cornea.
 Image formed : virtual, erect image 18mm in front of patient’s retina
Disadvantages
 Low magnification 5-8 degrees (just about 1 disc diameter)
 Small field , cannot visualise beyond the equator
 Precise patient fixation required
 Hence it is not ideal for screening posterior fundus
INDIRECT OPHTHALMOSCOPE
LENSES
BIO condensing lenses (Hand held lenses )
 biconvex, aspheric designs with one surface more curved than
theother.
 Less curved surface toward patient’s eye (silver).
 The hand-held lens acts both as:-
1. A condensing lens for the illuminating system.
2. A lens for forming an inverted image of the retina in space.
 The technique is called Indirect because the fundus isseen
through a condensing lens.
 The image is formed close to the principle focus of the lens,
between the lens and the observer.
 The condensing lens is a powerful convex lens (the usual power
used is +14, + 20,and + 33 D )
 The power of the condensing lens determines:-
 Retinal Magnification
 Field of view
 Stereopsis.
+30 D lens
 The high dioptric power lens (30D) has the highest magnification :-
 Least magnification of the retina, 60/30 = 2.
 Stereopsis is half that of the normal, 2/4= 1/2
 Field of view is generally the largest = (60 degrees, 30 x 2 ).
 used to obtain a panoramic view when detail and stereopsis are
not as important , and used with small pupil.
+20 D lens
 The middle dioptric power lens of (20D).
 The retinal magnification = 60/20 = X3
 The stereopsis is 3/4 that of the normal.
 The field of view is 40 degrees (20x2 ).
 20D lens most widely used, since it provides an adequate field of
view, stereopsis and magnification.
+15 D lens
 The low dioptric power lens of 14 or 15D.
 The retinal magnification = 60/15 = X4.
 The stereopsis is full ( 4/4 ).
 The field of view is 30 degrees (15x2 ).
 most useful for detailed view of the macula or optic disc or for
determining elevation of the retina in shallow retinal
detachment.

2. Instil topical anaesthetic drops
3. Insert coupling fluid into cup of contact lens but do not overfill
4. Ask patient to look up , insert inferior rim of the lens into lower fornix and
press it quickly against the cornea
5. Always tilt illumination column except when viewing 12 o’ clock position in
the fundus (ie, with the mirror at 6 o’clock)
6. When viewing different positions of peripheral retina, rotate axis of beam so
that it is always at right angles to the mirror
6. To visualize entire fundus, rotate lens for 360 degrees using the 59, 67
and 73 degrees tilted mirrors to give views of the peripheral retina, the
equatorial fundus and the area around the posterior pole, respectively
7.To obtain a more peripheral view of the retina, tilt the lens to the
opposite side and ask the patient to move the eyes to the same side.
Eg-to obtain a more peripheral view of 12 o’clock position (with mirror at
6 o’clock), tilt the lens down and ask the patient to look up
8. Examine the vitreous cavity with central lens, using a horizontal and a
vertical slit – beam and then examine posterior pole

 For fundus examination and laser photocoagulation
 Inverted image
LENS FOR GONIOSCOPY
PRINCIPLES AND OPTICS
• Critical angle for the cornea-air interface is approximately 46 degrees.
•Total internal reflection prevents direct visualization of angle in
nearly all eyes.
•The incident angle of light- reflected from angle is greater
than the critical angle at the cornea–air interface.
L i < L r
light rays are refracted at the contact lens-air
interface
light rays are reflected by a mirror
light rays leave the lens at nearly right
angles at the contact lens-air interface
Total internal reflection is overcome by eliminate the cornea-air interface by
Goniolenses in DIRECT method contact lenses –-to examine the anatomy of the angle
Gonioprisms/mirror and viscous coupling solution or tears in INDIRECT method
As the index of refraction of a contact lens approaches that of the cornea, there is minimal refraction at the
interface of these two media, which eliminates the optical effect of the front corneal surface.
Thus light rays from the anterior chamber angle enter the contact lens and are then made to pass through
the new contact lens-air interface
METHODS
 Three primary methods:
 Indirect gonioscopy: Using mirrors,the angle is examined with reflected light
 Indentation (dynamic) gonioscopy
 Direct gonioscopy: look directly at the angle with lenses.

LENS FOR LASERS
Common characteristics of laser lenses
 Concave posterior surface conforming to the corneal curvature and a
flat or convex anterior surface
 Planar mirrors allowing observation of the anterior chamber angle or
peripheral retina.
 A prism to allow visualization of the mid-periphery of the retina.
 A flange to stabilize the lens and prevent blinking
 Knurled edge to facilitate lens manipulation.
 Laser lenses generally consist of a conical PMMA or aluminium shell
 Glass anterior surface, lenticular elements and mirrors.
Antireflection coatings
 Usually applied to each optical surface in a laser lens that reduces
reflected white light (from the slit lamp source) that could decrease contrast or the
slit lamp image, and laser light (from the treatment beam) that could pose a
potential hazard to an observer standing behind the laser operator.
 The hazard distance is 7 meters for an uncoated lens and 1.6 meters for a coated
lens.
 Most laser lenses use broad-spectrum, multilayer, antireflection coatings that
reduce reflected light between 400 nm and 700 nm from approx 4 %
to < 1%
Mirror lenses
 high magnification and high resolution
 only a small part of the fundus or chamber angle can be viewed at any one time.
 Therefore, the mirrors at various degrees of inclinations are necessary.
e.g. Goldmann 3 mirror lenses.
The image formed in the Goldmann 3 mirror lens is the mirror image of the area focused.
Lenses without Mirrors
 field of view may be increased to a variable extent by use of biconcave contact
lenses based on the simple Goldman lens (without mirrors).
 Another different way of increasing the field of view involves using contact lenses
based on the EL Bayadi lens.Eg- Rodenstock Panfundoscope and Mainster lens
 All wide-angle systems of this category are derived from the principle of indirect
ophthalmoscopy
 large and inverted field of view.
 both the panfundoscope and the Mainster lenses produce inverted real images.

 Image magnification is 0.70x.
 Laser spot magnification is 1.44x.
Mainster
 Introduced in 1986
 more field of view (58% greater than Goldman) and a
greater magnification.
 Although the field of view is 14% less than the
Panfundoscope,
but the lateral and axial magnification are better which
makes it useful for detecting retinal thickening.
 It has a biconvex, aspherical anterior lens element and a
concave lens element to fit the corneal curvature.
 inverted, real image located in front of its biconvex
aspheric anterior lens element
Common Features of Mainster and Panfundoscopic lens
 Large areas of the fundus may be treated in PRP without lens
rotation.
 Visualization of the optic disc and macula during peripheral
treatment prevents disorientation.
 The experienced laser surgeon can achieve a more peripheral
view by tilting the lens off-axis.
 The field of view is increased in myopes and decrease in
hyperopes and will lead to differences in how far peripherally
laser photocoagulation can be applied.
 Working distance on these lenses are greater.
 Anterior segment irradiance becomes excessive with large spot
sizes (1000μm) but should be acceptable at a spot size of 500μm.
Mainster Standard lens
 for focal and grid laser treatment from the posterior pole to the
midperiphery.
 field of view is 90/121 degrees.
 Image magnification is 0.96 x.
 Laser spot magnification is 1.05x.
 High resolution, high magnification of image allows appreciation
of subtle intraretinal details and retinal thickening.
 So, it is excellent for diagnosis and treatment of macular
oedema, BRVO , CNVM in ARMD and presumed ocular
histoplasmosis.

without the use of mirrors.
 gives a panoramic view
 inverted, real image located in its spherical biconvex anterior lens
element.
 Thus, the biomicroscope must be located further from the
patient's eye than using a Goldman lens
 This low biomicroscopic magnification produces adequate
magnification with a large field and acceptable depth of
focus.
 working field is 84% greater than a Goldman
 lateral magnification is 24% lesser than a Goldman.
 The spot size is 40% larger than the photocoagulator setting
or twice large than the conventional contact lens.
Disadvantage
• it produces peripheral distortion.
• It can produce marked laser beam astigmatism while
treating the peripheral retina.
• Reflexes compromise retinal image thereby causing oblong
burns when treating through the periphery of the lens.
Volk Quadraspheric lens
 The original 13 degree Quadraspheric introduced in 1989
 preferred wide field fundus laser lens for diagnosis and
treatment of the retina.
 The 4 aspheric surfaces also employ high efficiency antireflection

Lenses in ophthalmology

  • 2. LENS FOR FUNDUS EXAMINATION
  • 3. Indirect fundus biomicroscopy  Examination of the retina by Slit lamp and Volk double aspheric lenses is called indirect fundus Biomicroscopy LENS NON – CONTACT CONTACT CONVEX LENS CONCAVE LENS +60D +78D +90D HRUBY LENS GOLDMANN 3 MIRROR LENS MODIFIED KOEPPE’S LENS INDIRECT LENS +30D +40D +14/+ 15D
  • 4. ADVANTAGES 1. Larger field of retina visible 2. Lesser distortion of image of retina 3. Easier to examine , if patient ‘s eye movements are present and with high spherical or astigmatic refractive errors 4. Easy visualization of retina anterior to equator , where most retinal holes and degenerations exist 5. It gives a 3D stereoscopic view of the retina wth considerable depth of focus 6. Useful in Hazy media because of its bright light and optical property DISADVANTAGES 1. Magnification in indirect ophthalmoscopy is 5 times 2. Impossible with very small pupils 3. Patient usually more uncomfortable with intense light and scleral indentation 4. Reflex sneezing on exposure to bright light 5. Requires extensive practice in technique
  • 5.  Volk's 60D,78D and 90D fundus lenses with slit lamp indirect ophthalmoscopy as a standard diagnostic procedure for comprehensive fundus evaluation.  Double aspheric lenses  Optics of indirect fundus biomicroscopy is similar to that of indirect ophthalmoscopy.  Image formed is real, inverted, laterally reversed.
  • 6. Technique  The patient’s pupil may be dilated and background lights dimmed as for direct ophthalmoscopy.  Patient is positioned comfortably at the slit lamp.  The slit lamp viewing piece and the light column are kept at an angle of 90 degrees.  Set illumination angle coaxial with the slit lamp-viewing system  The illumination is kept low, the slit beam at a width of 2-3 mm and length of 5-10mm
  • 7.  Magnification preferably set at 10× initially or 16 x  The beam is focused onto the patient’s pupil and the +78 or +90 D condensing lens aligned at around 5-10 mm from the patient’s cornea.  The slit lamp is then pulled backwards gradually towards the examiner until the fundal glow is visualised  Reflections can be reduced by slightly tilting the lens  As with indirect ophthalmoscopy, the image from a non-contact Volk Lens slit lamp biomicroscopic examination is inverted and laterally reversed.  To view peripheral retina, ask patient to look into appropriate positions of gaze as with standard indirect ophthalmoscopy
  • 8.  Magnification= power of eye x magnification of slit lamp power of lens Eg . Magnification of + 90 D = 60/90 x 10 = 7.6  Thus magnification is inversely proportional while, Field of view is directly proportional to the power of the lens. Stereopsis = magnification / 4 . Field of view = (D.P. of the lens x 2 )
  • 9. Principle of Indirect Ophthalmoscopy  To make the eye highly Myopic by placing a  strong Convex lens in front of it.
  • 10. +90 D lens  The original Volk 90D lens started the slit lamp examination.  relatively wide field of view with a good resolution  Real inverted image  General diagnosis and small pupil examinations.  It features a small 26mm diameter ring is ideal for dynamic fundoscopy.  The Volk 90D has very good small pupil capabilities, making it ideal for a quick look at the posterior pole.  Working distance from the cornea is 6.5mm.
  • 11. 60D  High Magnification Views of the Posterior Pole.  High magnification lens for detailed optic disc and macula imaging.  Ideal diameter for use in the orbital area.  ( Its 31mm diameter allows a wide field of view and facilitates  easy handling within the orbital area.)  • Working distance from the cornea is 11mm.
  • 12. 78D The Double Aspheric 78D is an excellent general diagnosis .  Ideal balance of magnification and field of view.  Working distance from the cornea is 7mm.
  • 13. Advantages : 1.Stereoscopic ,3 dimensional view of the retina-Binocular viewing through the slit lamp. 2.Better image achieved when viewing through media opacities - Cataract. 3.Allows for manipulation of image- Slit lamp magnification& filters. 4.Image size less affected by patient refractive error.
  • 14. Hruby lens  Plano-concave lens with diopteric power of -58.6D, which neutralises the optical power of the eye (+ 60 D)  To be placed 10-12 mm in front of patient’s cornea.  Image formed : virtual, erect image 18mm in front of patient’s retina
  • 15. Disadvantages  Low magnification 5-8 degrees (just about 1 disc diameter)  Small field , cannot visualise beyond the equator  Precise patient fixation required  Hence it is not ideal for screening posterior fundus
  • 16. INDIRECT OPHTHALMOSCOPE LENSES BIO condensing lenses (Hand held lenses )  biconvex, aspheric designs with one surface more curved than theother.  Less curved surface toward patient’s eye (silver).  The hand-held lens acts both as:- 1. A condensing lens for the illuminating system. 2. A lens for forming an inverted image of the retina in space.
  • 17.  The technique is called Indirect because the fundus isseen through a condensing lens.  The image is formed close to the principle focus of the lens, between the lens and the observer.  The condensing lens is a powerful convex lens (the usual power used is +14, + 20,and + 33 D )  The power of the condensing lens determines:-  Retinal Magnification  Field of view  Stereopsis.
  • 18. +30 D lens  The high dioptric power lens (30D) has the highest magnification :-  Least magnification of the retina, 60/30 = 2.  Stereopsis is half that of the normal, 2/4= 1/2  Field of view is generally the largest = (60 degrees, 30 x 2 ).  used to obtain a panoramic view when detail and stereopsis are not as important , and used with small pupil.
  • 19. +20 D lens  The middle dioptric power lens of (20D).  The retinal magnification = 60/20 = X3  The stereopsis is 3/4 that of the normal.  The field of view is 40 degrees (20x2 ).  20D lens most widely used, since it provides an adequate field of view, stereopsis and magnification.
  • 20. +15 D lens  The low dioptric power lens of 14 or 15D.  The retinal magnification = 60/15 = X4.  The stereopsis is full ( 4/4 ).  The field of view is 30 degrees (15x2 ).  most useful for detailed view of the macula or optic disc or for determining elevation of the retina in shallow retinal detachment.
  • 22. Contact lens biomicroscopy of fundus Combines stereopsis, high illumination, and high magnification with advantages of slit beam A. Modified Koeppe’s lens B. Goldmann’ s three mirror contact lens C. Wide field (panfundoscopic) indirect contact lenses
  • 23. Modified Koeppe’s lens  posterior fundus contact lens  Used to examine the posterior segment  Virtual and erect image
  • 24. Goldmann’ s three mirror contact lens  Central contact lens with 3 mirrors placed in the cone, each with different angles of inclination 1. central contact lens for posterior pole and vitreous 2. Mirror inclined at 73 ° - area around posterior pole 3. Mirror inclined at 67 ° - equatorial fundus 4. Mirror inclined at 59 ° - anterior peripheral fundus including ora serrata and pars plana  Virtual , erect image
  • 25. TECHNIQUE 1. Dilate pupils 2. Instil topical anaesthetic drops 3. Insert coupling fluid into cup of contact lens but do not overfill 4. Ask patient to look up , insert inferior rim of the lens into lower fornix and press it quickly against the cornea 5. Always tilt illumination column except when viewing 12 o’ clock position in the fundus (ie, with the mirror at 6 o’clock) 6. When viewing different positions of peripheral retina, rotate axis of beam so that it is always at right angles to the mirror
  • 26. 6. To visualize entire fundus, rotate lens for 360 degrees using the 59, 67 and 73 degrees tilted mirrors to give views of the peripheral retina, the equatorial fundus and the area around the posterior pole, respectively 7.To obtain a more peripheral view of the retina, tilt the lens to the opposite side and ask the patient to move the eyes to the same side. Eg-to obtain a more peripheral view of 12 o’clock position (with mirror at 6 o’clock), tilt the lens down and ask the patient to look up 8. Examine the vitreous cavity with central lens, using a horizontal and a vertical slit – beam and then examine posterior pole
  • 27. Wide field (panfundoscopic) indirect contact lenses  Field view upto 130 degrees  For fundus examination and laser photocoagulation  Inverted image
  • 29. PRINCIPLES AND OPTICS • Critical angle for the cornea-air interface is approximately 46 degrees. •Total internal reflection prevents direct visualization of angle in nearly all eyes. •The incident angle of light- reflected from angle is greater than the critical angle at the cornea–air interface.
  • 30. L i < L r light rays are refracted at the contact lens-air interface light rays are reflected by a mirror light rays leave the lens at nearly right angles at the contact lens-air interface Total internal reflection is overcome by eliminate the cornea-air interface by Goniolenses in DIRECT method contact lenses –-to examine the anatomy of the angle Gonioprisms/mirror and viscous coupling solution or tears in INDIRECT method As the index of refraction of a contact lens approaches that of the cornea, there is minimal refraction at the interface of these two media, which eliminates the optical effect of the front corneal surface. Thus light rays from the anterior chamber angle enter the contact lens and are then made to pass through the new contact lens-air interface
  • 31. METHODS  Three primary methods:  Indirect gonioscopy: Using mirrors,the angle is examined with reflected light  Indentation (dynamic) gonioscopy  Direct gonioscopy: look directly at the angle with lenses.

  • 33. GONIOPRISMS Requiring coupling agents 1.Goldmann single mirror gonioprism Prototype diagnostic gonioprism  Mirror inclined at 62 degrees from plano front surface  Needs to be rotated 3 times to examine the whole angle  Mirror Height -12 mm  Central well diameter -12 mm  Posterior Radius of curvature -7.38 mm 2.Goldmann two mirror gonioprism  Both mirrors inclined at 62 degrees  Needs to be rotated once to examine whole angle
  • 34. 3.Goldmann three mirror gonioprism A. Gonioscopy mirror: Inclination of 59 degree  Smallest  Dome shaped upper border  Broad area of contact with cornea (12 mm)may artificially close the angle under pressure B. Equatorial mirror: Inclined at 67 degrees  Largest  Oblong shaped  Examine Pars plana of ciliary body Posterior pole to the equator C. Peripheral mirror: Inclined at 73 degrees  Intermediate size  Square shaped  Examine from equator to ora serrata
  • 36. 4.Allen Thorpe gonioprism  4 prisms instead of mirrors  Allows examination of whole angle without rotating the prisms  Suspended by a frame
  • 37. Advantages of Goldmann gonioprisms  Easy to use  Excellent view  Peripheral retina can be seen  Stabilizes the globe Can be used in Argon Laser trabeculoplasty
  • 38. Disadvantages of Goldmann gonioprisms  Only 1 mirror for gonio-has to be rotated by 360 degrees  Cannot be used for indentation  In case of 3 mirror lens, broad area of contact with cornea may cause artefactual closure of angle Curvature of lens > cornea Coupling material required Blurs vision and fundus Field charting ,direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy cant be done immediately after use
  • 39. GONIOPRISMS Not requiring coupling agents 1.Zeiss 4- mirror Gonioprism  4 identical mirrors angled at 64 degrees  On an UNGER HOLDER  Small area of contact with the cornea (9mm) Indentation gonioscopy can be performed
  • 40. Zeiss 4- mirror Gonioprism ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES • Easy to perform • All 4 quadrants visible at same time • Rotation of 11 degrees covers area between the mirrors • Indentation gonio • Coupling material not required, thus fundus viewing and photography possible • Difficult to master • Does not stabilise the globe • May open the angle artefactually If pressure is applied
  • 41. 2.Posner Gonioprism  Similar to Zeiss  Made of plastic instead of glass  Has a fixed handle
  • 42. 3.Sussman lens Similar to Zeiss but has no handle 4.Tokel Gonioprism • Single mirror lens • Broader viewing area than Goldmann single mirror lens • Convex anterior face that provides slight magnification • For delivery of Laser to angle
  • 43. 5.Ritch Trabeculoplasty laser lens  2 mirrors tilted at 59degrees to see inferior angle  2 mirrors at 64 degrees to view the superior angle  A convex button in front of a 59 degree mirror and a 64 degree mirror for extra magnification and laser treatment

  • 49. Antireflection coatings  Usually applied to each optical surface in a laser lens that reduces reflected white light (from the slit lamp source) that could decrease contrast or the slit lamp image, and laser light (from the treatment beam) that could pose a potential hazard to an observer standing behind the laser operator.  The hazard distance is 7 meters for an uncoated lens and 1.6 meters for a coated lens.  Most laser lenses use broad-spectrum, multilayer, antireflection coatings that reduce reflected light between 400 nm and 700 nm from approx 4 % to < 1%
  • 50. Mirror lenses  high magnification and high resolution  only a small part of the fundus or chamber angle can be viewed at any one time.  Therefore, the mirrors at various degrees of inclinations are necessary. e.g. Goldmann 3 mirror lenses.

Editor's Notes

  1. In a Haag- Streit Model 900, the stereoscopic slit lamp is in focus at about 9 mm in front of the objective lens of the microscope or about 280 mm from the examiner's eye. The slit lamp cannot focus directly on the patient's retina due to the intervening optical system of the patient's eye. So, accessory optical aids are required in the form of lenses in front of the patient's eye to nullify the optical effects of the various intervening optical systems of the patient's eye.

  3. When light passes from a denser medium with a greater index of refraction to one with a lesser index Light is transmitted when i< r i= critical angle when r is 90 degrees. When i exceeds the critical angle, r >i , the light is reflected back into the first medium.
  4.   In direct gonioscopy, the anterior curve of the contact lens—the goniolens—is such that the critical angle is not reached, and the light rays are refracted at the contact lens-air interface   In indirect gonioscopy, the --leave the lens at nearly a right angle to the contact lens-air interface
