Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Technology

Context:

  • Vitreoretinal surgery requires precise manipulation of intraocular lenses.
  • Current methods for holding contact lenses during surgery can be challenging.

Purpose:

  • To develop and introduce two innovative lens holders for contact lens use in vitreoretinal surgery.
  • To improve the ease and efficacy of lens placement during these procedures.

Summary:

  • Developed a flexible hand-fixed lens holder and a lid-retractor-fixed lens holder.
  • These holders offer superior stabilization and centering of the contact lens.
  • Reduced incidence of air bubbles and blood at the cornea-contact lens interface.

Impact:

  • Potential to enhance surgical precision and efficiency in vitreoretinal procedures.
  • May lead to improved patient outcomes by minimizing intraoperative complications.
  • Offers novel solutions for instrument handling in complex eye surgeries.
