Abstract:
A sterile single-use flexible contact lens for use in viewing the interior of a patient's eye during diagnostic examination or a laser treatment or a surgery, comprising a hollow body (1) having a back (4) and a front (3) exits, filled with a sterile, transparent and flexible material (2), wherein the back exit, facing the physician, is sealed with a thin transparent window (5), and the flexible front exit, to be attached to the patient's eye, is covered by a removable film (6), and said contact lens is characterized in that the removable film keeps the flexible material in place such that after removing the film the front face of the flexible material of the lens can be attached directly to the patients eye causing the flexible material to reshape and fit itself exactly to the patients eye curvature, thus forming a lens whose curvature negates that of the cornea.
