This technique enhances binocular vision in unilateral aphakic individuals, suggesting a novel optical solution.
The handling of the unilateral aphakic patient is complex. A technique is described that allows the practitioner to take first steps toward restoring binocular vision in suitable cases. A reverse Galilezn telescope is partially incorporated in a contact lens placed in front of the aphakic eye. The negative portion of the telescope is incorporated in the spectacle frame. Several problems and fitting details are considered. An outline of the method employed is presented at the end of the article.
