ABSTRACT:
Apparatus used for intraocular manipulation of an element in an internal eye zone, as via a surgical incision in the corneo-scleral limbus, which includes two elongated lever arms, each of which has a distal first zone, a second pivot zone or zones rearward of said distal first zone, and a third manual pressure receiving zone, at least one of the arms having gripping structure protruding toward the other arm to enable gripping of the element between the first distal zones, the arms operatively coupled together rearwardly of the second zone or zones so that the first distal zones are yieldably urged toward one another by the arms to hold the gripped element therebetween, the second pivot zone or zones configured to pivot in interengagement in response to controllable manual squeezing force exertion on the third zones, thereby to cause the first zones to relatively separate, enabling movement of the arm and structure relative to the element.
