ABSTRACT:
A pair of forceps has a shank and a pair of resilient arms. A groove, running along the inner face of each arm and communicating with a channel in the shank, accommodates a fiber optic cable which provides illumination at the tip of the forceps for items handled by the forceps. The use of the forceps is particularly suitable for manipulating an artificial lens in a human eye because the surface of the lens is illuminated to make it stand out against the liquid of the eye which has substantially the same refractive index as the lens.
