    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmic surgical instrumentation
    • Medical device engineering

    Background:

    • Standard pig-tail probes are used in ophthalmic surgery.
    • Accurate visualization of delicate anatomical structures is crucial for successful surgical outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a modified pig-tail probe incorporating a fiber-optics bundle.
    • To evaluate the utility of the integrated fiber optics for intraoperative visualization.

    Main Methods:

    • A standard pig-tail probe was modified to include a fiber-optics bundle within its structure.
    • The modified probe was utilized in procedures requiring visualization of the canaliculus and lacrimal sac.

    Main Results:

    • The fiber-optics bundle delivered cold light to the probe tip.
