A fiber-optics pig-tail probe

A pig-tail probe with a fiber-optics bundle incorporated within its thickness is described. The instrument is used as is commonly done at present with the standard pig-tail probe. In addition, the fiber-optics bundle delivers cold light to the tip of the probe which has been found very useful for locating the torn ends of a canaliculus, as well as delineating the anatomy of the lacrimal sac.
