Goldmann Lens

Goldmann Lens is a scientific and medical concept used to describe an instrument created by the famous Swiss ophthalmologist Werner Goldmann (1898-1974). The instrument is a special lens that is used in ophthalmic practice to treat astigmatism and myopia.

Goldmann developed his lens based on experiments he conducted over several years. His research has shown that using a special lens can help reduce vision defects associated with decreased eye pressure.

The Goldmann lens is a biconvex or biconcave lens depending on the type of vision defect. It is made of glass or plastic and has unique optical properties that can significantly improve the patient’s vision.

The principle of operation of the Goldmann lens is that it changes the curvature of the cornea of ​​the eye, which allows you to change the refractive power of light rays in the eye. Thus, the lens corrects the irregular shape of the cornea and allows the image to be correctly focused on the retina.

One of the key advantages of the Goldmann lens is its versatility. It can be used both for therapeutic treatment of myopia and astigmatism, and for diagnostic examination of the patient’s visual functions.
