The prism loupe used as a low-vision aid and in ocular surgery.

The prism-magnifier developed and constructed by Biessels has been used as a low-vision aid since 1971. It has been derived from the Carl Zeiss (W. Germany) 8 x 20 mini prism-binoculars. The system has several advantages. The prism-magnifier also enables the eye surgeon to perform microsurgery without the disadvantages of a stand-microscope.

Prognosis for the evolution of Ophthalmology: Part II.

This paper represents an application of modern forecasting methods to prognosis in ophthalmology. Using these methods the author considers possible changes in patterns of ocular pathology in the next 20 to 25 years. He also indicates the probable evolution of such methods of investigation as biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy, electrophysiology, and automatic diagnosis. In the field of ophthalmosurgery, the author explores the idea of automation of eye surgery and extended use of micromanipulators in surgery. He predicts the autoplasty of the anterior segment and the transplant of the whole eye.
