A contact-type ophthalmic lens for use in diagnosis and laser surgery has a contact lens (14), an entry lens (16), and an intermediate lens (18). The lenses are aligned along their optical axes. The anterior surface of the contact lens has an aspheric surface with a high power. The intermediate lens is a meniscus lens with a concave posterior surface and a convex anterior surface. Both surfaces of the entry lens are convex and aspheric. This combination of lenses provides a very wide field of view, allowing regions of the eye anterior to the equator to be readily viewed in an aerial image focused in a plane (50) anterior to the lens system.

Extra wide field ophthalmic lens

An indirect ophthalmoscopy lens (10) comprises two or more elements (16, 30). The elements (16, 30) are movable by the physician relative to each other to vary the magnification provided in an aerial image (I) of the fundus.
