Abstract
An improved intraocular lens forceps, including a first and second arm, the first arm has a first handle and a first lens engagement blade spaced from the first handle. The second arm has a second handle and a second lens engagement blade spaced from the second handle. The blades extend generally longitudinally in laterally spaced relation and at opposite side of a bisecting plane. The first arm has a primary section and a secondary section. The secondary arm sections extend between the first handle and first blade. The second arm has a primary section and a secondary section, the secondary arm sections extend between the second handle and second blade. The blades are movable by the handles and arm sections between closed and open positions relative to the lens. The alarm primary sections extend in cross-over relation to define a cross-over locus, when the blades are in closed position; and the secondary arm sections extend generally longitudinally in substantially parallel and elongated relation, and with spacing therebetween less than about 3 mm.
