Galilean Devices
SightScope® systems are available in 1.7x and 2.2x powers and are appropriate for individuals with best corrected vision of 20/100 or better. They can be prescribed for one or both eyes. The adjustable mounting allows for complete positioning control of the telescopes and can also maximize the field of view. The SightScope is available as a permanent frame mounted version (using Ocutech’s specially designed frames) and also as a clip-on version. In either version, the telescope can be flipped out of the way when not needed. Reading cap adapters are available that slide onto the front of the telescope and allow the SightScope to be used at near working distances anywhere between 40 inches to 10 inches. A near-only version called the SightScope NearView is also available.
The InstaMount and Reveal bioptics are traditional Galilean telescopes available in 2.2x (and also 0.5x for patients with tunnel vision) that can be glued to the front of the eyeglass lens (InstaMount) either permanently or by using a clip-on frame, or permanently inserted through the eyeglass lens (Reveal). These are small and lightweight. They do not focus and are intended only for distance seeing beyond 10 feet. They are also appropriate for individuals with best-corrected vision of 20/100 or better
