ABSTRACT:
An ocular muscle hook used in ocular surgery having a muscle holding tip and a handle, a shank extending forwardly of the handle, a leg extending from the forward end of the shank, a tip connected to the forward end of the leg. The leg and the tip define an angle of approximately 150.degree.. The leg and the shank define an angle of approximately 120.degree., thereby positioning the hand of an individual holding the muscle hook laterally away from interference with the line of sight of the surgeon. When the leg is pulling an eye muscle away from an eye, the upwardly angled tip acts as a stop to prevent the muscle from sliding off the leg. The handle is substantially cylindrical in shape and is sized to be held between the thumb and fingers of a hand providing maximum control, comfort, and familiarity to the individual using the muscle hook.
