Abstract

A lens device for examining portions of the human eye comprising inner and outer members each having opposed end portions, the outer member having a viewing lens adjacent one end portion thereof, the inner member being rotatably mountable within the outer member and having at least one mirror associated therewith, the at least one mirror being located adjacent the viewing lens when the inner member is positioned within the outer member, the inner member being rotatably movable relative to the outer member such that the at least one mirror can be selectively positioned relative to the viewing lens so that the appropriate area of the eye can be examined. Preferably, the inner member is rotatable a full 360.degree. while the outer member remains stationary adjacent a patient's eye and, preferably, the inner member includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced mirrors. Although the present device is particularly adaptable for use in association with a wide variety of diagnostic lens such as gonioscopy and/or fundoscopic lens, the present device is likewise equally adaptable for use in many other eye lens applications including lenses used in laser treatment and/or surgery of the eye.
