    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Glaucoma surgery requires precise instruments to minimize ocular trauma.
    • The cyclodialysis procedure is a surgical treatment for glaucoma.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a specialized cyclodialysis spatula for glaucoma surgery.
    • To evaluate the instrument's efficacy in facilitating cyclodialysis and reducing ocular damage.

    Main Methods:

    • Development and design of a novel cyclodialysis spatula.
    • Application of the spatula in glaucoma surgery, including cases with combined cataract extraction.

    Main Results:

    • The specialized spatula facilitates the cyclodialysis procedure.
    • The instrument decreases the likelihood of inadvertent damage to the eye during surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • The new cyclodialysis spatula is an effective tool for glaucoma surgery.
    • This instrument enhances safety and efficiency in cyclodialysis procedures.
