Eye surgical hooks designed to temporarily secure eye lenses by catching and/or pulling them during dissection, excision, and/or to perform other surgical procedures with minimal trauma. These eye surgical hooks are handheld manual metallic instruments with either curved or sharply bent working ends (usually at angles from 135 to 180 degrees); the hooks typically include a slender handle at the proximal end. Eye lens surgical hooks with blunt, straight or angled tips are also available. They are usually provided with a smooth finish, durability and flexibility. Eye lens surgical hooks are used during ocular surgical procedures (e.g., iris retraction procedures, intraocular lens manipulators procedures).
