Surgical Lens

Surgical lenses are specialized lenses used in ophthalmic surgeries. They are part of the supply class Ophthalmic Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies, which falls under the supply group Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Equipment and Supplies.

Surgical lenses are designed to provide magnification and clarity during surgical procedures involving the eye. They are typically used by ophthalmologists and eye surgeons to enhance visualization and precision during delicate procedures such as cataract surgery, corneal transplantation, and retinal surgery.

These lenses are available in various types and designs, including:

1. Operating Microscope Lenses: These lenses are attached to operating microscopes and provide high magnification and depth of field for detailed visualization during surgery.

2. Contact Lenses: These lenses are placed directly on the patient's eye during surgery to provide magnification and improve the surgeon's view of the surgical site.

3. Intraocular Lenses (IOLs): These lenses are implanted inside the eye during cataract surgery to replace the natural lens. They help restore vision and can be customized to correct refractive errors.

4. Gonio Lenses: These lenses are used in glaucoma examinations to visualize the angle between the cornea and the iris.

5. Vitrectomy Lenses: These lenses are used in vitrectomy procedures to provide a wide-angle view of the retina and vitreous humor.

Surgical lenses are typically made of high-quality materials that are biocompatible and provide excellent optical properties. They are sterilized before use to ensure aseptic conditions during surgery.

It's important to note that surgical lenses should only be used by trained medical professionals who are experienced in ophthalmic surgery.
