ABSTRACT:
An instrument for use in human cataract or glaucoma eye surgery which is inserted into the inferior cul-de-sac of the eye in order to rotate the eyeball downward for exposure of the upper eyeball sclera for surgery. The present instrument avoids the need for sutures or stitches to rotate the eyeball down, thereby avoiding the possibility of ptosis, and unnecessary wounds and their associated possibilities of hemorrhage, discomfort, slow healing and infection. The instrument includes a pair of arms with intermediate curls and a terminating crossbar.
