Abstract: A scleral depressor includes an elongated handle defining a first axis. An extension member has one end attached to the proximal end of the handle and includes a blade at the remote end thereof. The extension member defines a second axis and extends from the handle at approximately 90° thereby defining a plane. A bulbous or cylindrically shaped blade located at the remote end of the extension member has its rounded surface extending out of the plane. By properly manipulating the handle, such as by rotating the same, the rounded surface of the blade is used to depress the sclera.

Abstract: A scleral depressor (10, 110, 220) includes an elongated handle (12, 112, 212) defining a first axis. An extension member (24, 124, 224) has one end (20) attached to the proximal end (16) of the handle and includes a blade (28, 128, 228) at the remote end thereof. The extension member defines a second axis and extends from the handle at approximately 90° thereby defining a plane. A bulbous (28, 228) or cylindrically shaped (128) blade located at the remote end of the extension member has its rounded surface (30, 32 or 130, 132 or 230, 232) extending out of the plane. By properly manipulating the handle, such as by rotating the same, the rounded surface of the blade is used to depress the sclera.
