BJ031.49 lens ophthalmology surgical

This is a Volk Optical gonioscopy lens, made in the USA.
Here's what the markings tell us:
  • BJ031.49 - serial number for this specific unit
  • CE - European conformity marking
  • USA - manufactured in the United States by Volk Optical (Mentor, Ohio)
What it is: A gonio lens (goniolens) used in ophthalmology. It's placed on the patient's cornea (with a coupling gel) and used with a slit lamp biomicroscope to visualize the iridocorneal (drainage) angle of the eye - the area where aqueous humor drains out. This is essential for diagnosing and managing glaucoma.
Based on its compact tapered single-element design and matte black anodized aluminum housing, it appears to be a Volk G-1 Gonio Lens (model VG1 or VG1NF - no flange version). The small teal/blue ring at the contact base is characteristic of Volk's gonio line.
The stainless steel bowl visible in the background is likely a soaking/sterilization container used for these contact lenses between patients.
