Minimally Invasive Iris Surgery

Minimally Invasive Ophthalmic Surgery

In addition to standard instrumentation commonly used in ophthalmic microsurgery, specialized instrumentation is invaluable. The surgeon often needs instruments such as forceps, scissors, and needle holders that can be inserted and maneuvered through small incisions. Vitreo-retinal instruments designed for the pars plana generally meet these needs. For the anterior segment, Iqbal “Ike” Ahmed has designed a set of anterior segment instruments for the anterior segment, similar to vitreo-retinal instruments in their coaxial action. These instruments are available from MicroSurgical Technologies (MST) of Redmond, WA. The assorted end pieces are designed to be interchanged from common handles, reducing total cost.
