A surgical instrument, in particular ophthalmologic clamp, includes two substantially parallel spring arms interconnected at their rear end and having a forward end terminating in clamping elements. An actuating mechanism is provided for moving the spring arms relative to one another in opposition to a spring elastic restoring force of the spring arms to thereby implement an inverse movement of the clamping elements. The actuating mechanism includes two plate-shaped operating members and four pins, whereby the pins are so disposed that two pins are connected to one operating member and the distal one of the spring arms, and two pins are connected to the other operating member and the other of the spring arms.
