    Abstract: The present invention relates to a surgical microscope drape with a removable lens assembly for use with surgical microscopes. The drape assembly comprises an elongated hollow enclosure of sheet-form material having a first end defining an access opening and a second end defining a hole and at least four ocular pockets. The access opening enables the drape assembly to be pulled over the body of a surgical microscope while the four ocular pockets each cover corresponding ocular ports of the microscope. A view portal located on the enclosure at the hole is adapted to be located within a cavity of the objective lens barrel. The portal houses a removable lens assembly that includes a window. Multiple lens assemblies can be packaged together with a microscope drape to form a kit.
