Rai G. Self-retaining iris retractor used in cryo-extraction of lens. Indian J Ophthalmol 1978;26:32 |
In order to prevent the adhesion of the cryo probe with cornea or iris during the operation of the cryo-extraction of lens, an instrument known by the name of Self-retaining iris retractor is devised.
The iris retractor is a very simple instrument made out of a steel wire. The front portion is bent into a round hook and the back portion is tapered and converted into a ring through which a silk thread hangs down by a ring [Figure - 1].
This instrument is very simple. It is selfretaining and inexpensive. It can be easily applied and removed during the' operation of cryo-extraction of lens. It is light in weight and can be comfortably handled.
