CATARACT AND GLAUCOMA

INSTRUMENTS

CATARACT




WIRE SPECULUM

Uses. Eye speculums are used to keep the lids

apart

?Any intraocular operation such as cataract

surgery and glaucoma surgery.

?Any extraocular surgery e.g., squint surgery,

pterygium surgery.

?Enucleation and evisceration operation.
?Removal of conjunctival and corneal foreign

bodies.

?Cauterization of corneal ulcer.
?Examination of the eye in a patient with

blepharospasm.

SUPERIOR RECTUS HOLDING FORCEPS

S-shaped double curve near the tip.
TOOTHED FORCEPS
Uses:
? hold the superior rectus muscle while
passing a bridle suture under it;
? to stabilize the eyeball during any
operation such as cataract surgery,
glaucoma surgery, corneal surgery




LIMS FORCEPS

? to hold conjunctiva , cornea, or any structure
?Single tooth with a base
?Angulated

CONJUNCTIVAL SCISSORS

To cut the conjunctiva to make flap for SICS
For other cutting purposes




CRESCENT BLADE

blunt-tipped, bevel up knife having cutsplitting
action at the tip and both the sides

USES:
It is used to make tunnel incision in the sclera
and cornea for phacoemulsification, manual
small incision cataract surgery (SICS), and
sutureless trabeculectomy.

SIDE PORT

straight knife with a sharp pointed tip and
cutting on one side.
Uses.
It is used to make a small valvular clear
corneal incision (commonly called as side
port incision) in phacoemulsification and
other intraocular surgeries including pars
plana vitrectomy.




VISCOELASTICS

CYSTITOME

SMALL NEEDLE KNIFE with bent tip with

cutiing on both the sides.

Disposable needle are prepared from the 26 G

or 30G hypodermic needles




KERATOME

diamond-shaped blade with a sharp apex and
two cutting edges.
USES:
? Valvular corneal incisions for entry into the

anterior chamber for all modern techniques of

cataract extraction

? self-sealing incisions for phacoemulsification

and manual SICS operation

IOL DIALER

Uses:
(i) to manipulate the nucleus in

phacoemulsification surgery

(ii)to dial PMMA non-foldable IOL for proper
Positioning in the capsular bag or ciliary sulcus.




WIRE VECTIS

It is wire loop attached to a metallic handle.
Uses:

It is used to remove dislocated or subluxated

lens. and nucleus in conventional ECCE and
SICS.

SYMCOE CANNULA

Irrigation and aspiration of lens matter in

Conventional and SICS.

POST SURGERY

To remove viscoelastic from the anterior

chamber




Kelman-McPherson forceps

These
are fine forceps with bent limbs. Uses:
(i)To hold the superior haptic of IOL during its

placement.

(ii) To tear off the anterior capsular flap in

ECCE.

(iii) Can be used for suture tying.

CHOPPER

resembling sinskey hook in shape. The
inner edge of the bent tip is cutting and may
have different angles.
Uses.
It is used to split or chop the nucleus into

smaller pieces

Nuclear manipulation in phacoemulsification

surgery


CASTROVIEJO CALLIPER

To make measurements for the scleral incision.
It is also used to measure corneal diameter

and visible horizontal iris diameter.

It is used to take measurements during squint,

ptosis, retinal detachment and pars plana

vitrectomy surgery.

Cornea scleral forceps

Uses: These are used to hold
the cornea or scleral edge (of incision) for
suturing
during cataract, glaucoma, repair of corneal
and/or
scleral tears and keratoplasty operations.




CAPSULORHEXIS FORCEPS

After a flap lens capsule is raised used
For holding lens capsule

Corneal scissors or

section enlarging scissors

Uses: (i) These are used to enlarge corneal or

corneoscleral incision For conventional
intracapsular and extracapsular Cataract
extraction cataract surgery.

(ii) To enlarge corneal incision
In keratoplasty operation.
(iii) To cut the scleral and trabecular
tissue in trabeculectomy.






IRIS REPOSITOR

Handle with blade & blunt end
Uses
? to reposit iris in AC during/after intra ocular
surgery
? To break synechiae at pupillary margin

NEEDLE HOLDING FORCEPS

TO DO SUTURING DURING GLAUCOMA AND

CATARCT SURGERY




SUTURE-TYING FORCEPS

Lens expressor (hook)

It is a flat metal handle with a rounded curve at

one end. Tip of the curve is knobbed. The plane

of the handle is at right angle to the curvature of

the hook.

Uses: (i) To apply pressure on the limbus at the 6

O'clock position During the delivery of lens in

intracapsular cataract extraction with Smith's

(tumbling) and capsule forceps techniques.

(i ) To express the nucleus in extracapsular

cataract extraction.

(i i) It can also be used as muscle hook if the

latter is not available.

(iv) Also used along with wire vectis to extract

out the dislocated lens




De wecker's scissors

They are fine scissors with small blades

directed at right angles to the arms. The

blades are kept apart, making V-shape, by

spring action.

Uses: It is used to perform iridectomy,
iridotomy and to cut the prolapsed formed
Vitreous and pupillary membrane.

KELLY'S PUNCH

TO MAKE A CLEAN HOLE IN TRABECULECTOMY
WHICH ACTS AS THE INNER WINDOW


Hydrodissection cannula

BP Handle


Irrigating vectis
