New microsurgical tools improve corneal cutting and grafting. A novel 10-mm contact lens corneal cutter and a stereotaxic donor disk chuck enhance precision in ophthalmic procedures.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Microsurgery
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Corneal transplantation is a common procedure.
Existing microsurgical tools have limitations in precision and ease of use.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce two innovative instruments for corneal cutting and grafting.
To enhance the precision and efficiency of microsurgical procedures for corneal transplantation.

Main Methods:

Development of a 10-mm contact lens corneal cutter.
Design of a stereotaxic donor disk chuck and frame for precise graft handling.

Main Results:

The new instruments offer improved control during corneal cutting.
The stereotaxic system facilitates accurate positioning of donor corneal tissue.
