In the preferred embodiment, the optical lens system is an artificial lens system having a first optical lens system and a second optical lens system and at least one of the first optical lens system and the second optical lens system includes a prism positioned on a selected surface thereof for passing light rays of an object through eccentrically arranged lens to the macula.
