Muller's Mirror

A Muller mirror is an optical device used in ophthalmology to study the refraction of the eye and determine its optical power. It was invented by Czech ophthalmologist Leopold Müller in 1904.

A Muller mirror is a flat mirror on which two scales are applied. One scale is a graduated scale of wavelengths of light, and the other is a graduated scale of the angles of incidence of light on the mirror.

In a muller speculum examination of the eye, the patient sits in front of a mirror and the physician moves the mirror in front of the eye, adjusting the angle of light so that the light reflected from the mirror enters the patient's eye. The doctor then records the angle of incidence of light at which the patient sees a clear image of the wavelength scale, after which the optical power of the eye is determined.

Using a Muller mirror allows you to quickly and accurately determine the optical power of the eye and identify refractive errors. This allows the doctor to choose the right glasses or contact lenses, which helps improve the patient’s vision and prevent the development of complications.



Müller glasses, one of the most famous glasses in the history of ophthalmology, were invented by Leopold Müller in 1906. It was a device for vision control, designed taking into account the structural features of the human eye. The Muller mirror was used to improve visual functions and increase the accuracy of working with various small objects.

Muller's was initially introduced as an experimental product, but it quickly gained popularity among people working in the fields of science, medicine and engineering. Muller was used especially often in the optical industry, where it was an important indicator of labor efficiency and product quality.

Muller is the basis of many others
