Abstract
Single piece ophthalmic inspection devices are provided having a continuous 3-dimensional molded surface preferably made out of plastic. The devices are relatively easier and cheaper to manufacture than existing inspection lenses. The smooth continuous edges are advantages to prevent damage to tissue as well to stop foreign objects accumulating in e.g. the clear regions of the lens. Ergonomic features built into the ophthalmic inspection device provide for superior control of the device on the patient's eye. In addition, textured knurled or grooved surfaces provide desired finger grip and control of the device.
