ABSTRACT:
A device and method for applying external compression to the eye of a living being to reduce bleeding when operating on the surface of the eye. The device includes a peripheral wall and a pair of spaced apart, pressure applying rings. One of the rings applies pressure to a first peripheral portion of the eye closely adjacent and surrounding the cornea, while the other ring applies pressure to a second peripheral portion of the eye remote from the cornea. The wall includes at least one window to provide access to a portion of the surface of the eye to enable a laser beam to be extended therethrough to operate on the surface of the eye between the two peripheral portions of the eye.
