Limited Field with Aspheric Macular Contact Lens

EVRS meeting 2015, Venice Italy

The Aspheric Macular Contact Lens provides superb visualization of the macula. However, the field of view is 30 degrees. Sometimes, I need to tilt the lens slightly to one side of the cornea to see a wider area of the macula. In certain situations the contact lens alone is not sufficient for complete macular maneuver. These include: wide extensive epimacular membranes, and small pupil. My Strategy is so simple: I try to use the contact lens as possible as I can, then shift to BIOM system for visualization, whenever I feel it is impossible to complete my task under contact lens. The target is to have a complete membrane peel, whatever the visualization tool I use. There is one case for demonstration.
