FOR YOUR PATIENTS AND PRACTICE

Diagnostic lens offers anterior segment views

■ The 4 Mirror High Mag Gonio Lens, from Volk Optical, provides a complete 360° view of the anterior chamber with 1.5x image magnification, making it ideal during glaucoma screening, the company says.

The lens is ideal during glaucoma screening.

The lens has four mirrors equally angled at 64°, enabling visualization of the entire anterior chamber with a slight rotation. It also has a no flange/no fluid (NF) design so you can use it without employing viscous interface solutions, such as methylcellulose. All patients need for comfort is a thick natural tear layer or artificial tears, Volk says.

The company offers large or small lens rings for your personal handling preference. In addition, you can adjust the lens' two-in-one handle to create a straight or 45°-angled grip.
