IOL scissors and forceps
For IOL explantation through smallest incisions, Geuder has developed, in collaboration with Michael E Snyder MD and Robert H Osher MD, an IOL scissors and an IOL forceps. “The Snyder-Osher IOL scissors have highest cutting efficiency, thanks to their sturdy and sharp scissors blades,†said a Geuder spokeswoman. “Grooves on the lower cutting blade prevent sliding of the lens during cutting. In addition, the special handle geometry facilitates a wide opening angle of the scissor blades. “The Snyder-Osher IOL forceps enables a secure holding of the lens while cutting it inside the capsular bag. Thanks to the special grooves in the grasping area, the lens fragments can be easily removed,†she said.Â
