triple mirror examination uses a Goldman's three mirror contact lens!

its a an instrument for examining fundus of the eye,esp the most peripheral part!

the instrument consists of a central contact lens n 3 mirrors placed in a cone,each with a different angle of inclination!

its also known as Goldman's goniolens.

this is an important test to rule out retinal pathologies n is usually considered as must,esp before planning for any interventions like photocoagulation,etc! 8)

also bcos this gives a very clear view of peripheral retina,this is very useful in early diagnosis of the detachment!

ref khurana under biomicroscopic examination of fundus! 8)

goniolens.....has 3 mirrors positioned strategically...so that visualisation of post. pole of retina and the equator is possible. it is used to investigate a c/o rd! i feel the answer..here would be gonioscopy..which is of no value in case of rd!
