Claim:
A lens for viewing the anterior chamber of an eye comprising: a contact lens element having a posterior concave contact lens surface compatible with the cornea of an eye, the contact lens surface having a contact optical axis, said contact lens having a curved anterior surface spaced from the contact lens surface, said anterior surface having an optical axis oriented at an angle to the contact optical axis; a first mirror surface offset from said anterior surface in an outward direction from said contact optical axis, a second mirror surface offset from said first mirror surface and angled away from said first mirror surface as said second mirror surface extends in an anterior direction, said first and second mirrors being arranged such that light rays emanating from the periphery of the eye pass through the contact lens and out of the curved exterior surface thereof and are first reflected from said first mirror surface toward said second mirror surface and then are reflected by said second mirror surface in a direction parallel or nearly parallel to said contact optical axis.
