Spatulas designed to manipulate and/or dissect eye tissue during surgical ophthalmological procedures. These devices typically consist of a metallic (e.g., stainless steel) handheld instrument with a straight or curved very thin, flat, distal tip or in some cases, a semi-sharp distal tip. Dedicated eye surgical spatulas are available for adhesions (synechiae), cyclodialysis surgical procedures for glaucoma, implantation of intraocular lenses, and other ophthalmic microsurgical procedures.
