Abstract

See full text

An ophthalmoscopy lens system is provided for collecting light rays emanating from a patient's eye and focussing the collected light rays to produce a real, aerial image of the fundus of the patient's eye. The ophthalmoscopy lens system includes a plurality of lens surfaces at least one of which is shaped to provide in conjunction with the other lens surfaces variable image distortion such that the aerial image, as viewed by an observer from a position anterior of the ophthalmoscopy lens system, has an apparent three dimensional concave curvature that imparts to the observer a sense of the actual concave curvature of the fundus being imaged.
