There is disclosed an anamorphic lens system for increasing the field of view for patients or persons having tunnel vision. The lens assembly consists of a plano-concave cylindrical lens separated from a plano-convex cylindrical lens. The lens system is an anamorphic lens system which minifies in one meridian or axis such as the X axis while keeping objects at the same size in the other meridian such as the Y axis. In utilizing the system, a handicapped patient is now able to maintain almost their original visual acuity in the vertical plane while the system produces minification in the horizontal plane. By using such a technique, the patient retains almost full visual acuity, experiences a substantial increase in his field of vision, and furthermore, does not lose the ability to judge depth.
