A mirror for self-examination by a patient with an aphakic eye.

A mirror with a radius of curvature of 211.5 mm permits a patient who has undergone cataract surgery to examine his own aphakic eye without corrective lenses. A slight adjustment of the eye-to-mirror distance also permits examination of a normal eye, a hyperopic eye, and a presbyopic eye requiring a plus lens correction. The mirror can be used to monitor postoperative status and the course of a disease, and for inserting and removing contact lenses.
