What is a 3-mirror/G-3 gonio lens used for?


A gonio lens with 3 mirrors is a multi-purpose contact lens and provides views of both the anterior chamber angle AND the retina. These lenses have a mirror for viewing the anterior chamber iridocorneal angle (gonioscopy mirror), a mirror for viewing the peripheral retina (peripheral mirror), and a mirror for viewing the equator and vortex veins (equatorial mirror). The lens also has a central lens for viewing the posterior pole. A gonioscopy lens with 3 mirrors is a multi-purpose lens.
