A surgical cutting device for making incisions in tissue has a holder with a distal end, an applanation plate extending from said distal end for contacting and altering the contour of tissue to be incised, and a cutting blade reciprocally movable with respect to the holder and extending from said distal end in proximity to the applanation plate. The blade is guided by the holder and linearly advanceable into the tissue to effect an incision. After the incision is made, the blade is retractable from the tissue.
