Improvement of Vision through the Periscope, Background and Proposed Solutions

Abstract

The necessity of improving the visual acuity of periscope operators is discussed, and two methods of doing so are outlined. They are (1) the use of contact lenses and (2) a modification of the periscope which permits the operator's full refractive correction to be added to the periscope. The advantages and disadvantages of each are pointed out, and the reasons for instituting both are discussed.
