Abstract: An intraocular lens (IOL) punch includes a handpiece having an opening at a first end, a jaw comprising a first leg and a second leg joined at a first rod end of a rod, the rod extending into the opening and moveable relative to the handpiece to operate the jaw between an open position and a closed position, and a post attached to the first leg and extending toward the second leg, wherein in the open position there is a gap between the post and the second leg and in the closed position the post extends to the second leg closing the gap.

Abstract: A device for marking a corneal surface of an eye includes a planar base having a central opening, a marking side, and a non-marking side, a linear marker extending across the central opening, and an outer circumference of the planar base having a wall extending vertically away from the non-marking side.

Abstract: An exemplary method for expanding and maintaining an intraocular opening includes compressing along an axis a circular body comprising a first pocket, a second pocket, a third pocket and a fourth pocket positioned vertically below a top band section. Inserting intraocular tissue of an eye in the first pocket of the compressed circular body, thereby elongating the intraocular opening, and inserting the intraocular tissue in the second pocket and the third pocket as the body decompresses. Decompressing the body and inserting the intraocular tissue in the fourth pocket thereby expanding the intraocular opening.

Abstract: An intraocular expansion and retention device (“IERD”) expands the iris, enlarging the pupil during intraocular surgery, and can be removed following the procedure without damaging the eye tissue. The intraocular expansion and retention device includes a number of stepped blades that form pockets to cup the iris margins and expand the pupil allowing increased visualization during intraocular surgery.

Abstract: A corneal marking device configured to indent and mark the surface of the cornea of the eye. Preferably, the indentation and marking are temporary in nature. Further, a method of marking the cornea of the eye.

Abstract: A surgical device having an instrument connected to a handle with a substantially cylindrical guard moveable between an open position exposing the instrument for use and a closed position substantially covering the instrument. The guard having at least one opening formed through a wall and extending substantially to or continuous with an end wall opening.

Abstract: A protection system for surgical instruments having a body with an instrument at one end. A movable guard is provided that moves between locked open and locked closed positions. The guard includes a grip and an opening to provide access for cleaning.
