Eye (ophthalmic) surgical clamps designed to temporarily and atraumatically grasp the eyelid edge and to assist in hemostasis. These devices are typically small, handheld, manual instruments resembling small tweezers with two circular distal ends; one of the ends is solid and the other resembles a ring that can be locked using a threaded mechanism. Eyelid surgical clamps are used in procedures intended to treat eyelid cysts and other abnormalities (e.g., hordeolum, chalazion).
