0.25 mm diameter, hourglass tip, 4-1/2" (11.5 cm)Surgical's Lester Lens Pusher is an extremely useful tool during cataract procedures. The hourglass shaped tip on the pusher is ideal for manipulating the IOL during implantation. Both straight and angled models are available depending on surgical preference.
Lester-Burch Speculum
blades 21.0 mm wide, spread 32.0 mm, 3-1/8" (8.0 cm) Lester Burch Speculum is a commonly used tool for visualizing the ophthalmologic surgical field. The solid blades are designed for more controlled retraction of the lids and minimize the chance of tissue obstruction. In addition, an adjustment screw and ribbed finger grip is provided to increase control during the procedure.
Lewicky Lens Manipulating Hook
9.0 mm shaft, 90 degrees angled 2.0 mm tip, curved, 4-1/2" (11.5 cm) Lewicky Lens Manipulating Hook is a commonly used tool during cataract procedures. The hook is used to manipulate the opacified native lens during a phacoemulsification procedure. The extended length of the hook combined with the angled tip minimizes surgical obstruction during the procedure.
Lewis Lens Loop

The serrated wire aids in gripping the lens to prevent it from slipping into the vitreous. Both a large and small sized loops are available to accommodate patient variation.
Lieberman Open Wire Speculum
Lieberman Open Wire Speculum is a commonly used ophthalmologic tool when visualization of the entire globe is desired. Both end pieces of the blade can be fit into the upper and lower lid respectively to achieve a needed spread. The open wire design ensures minimal tissue damage or crushing during the operation. Three different blade styles are available depending on surgical need.
Lieberman Suturing Forceps
colibri style, double toothed tips, 7.0 mm tying platform, 4-1/3" (11.0 cm)Lieberman Suturing Forceps are an ideal tool for a variety of postoperative ophthalmologic procedures. The double-toothed tips are meant for the grasping of sterile suturing material or suturing needle. The wide set, ribbed handle provides a ergonomic grip during the procedure, minimizing fatigue.
Lieppman Cystotome
w/ guard, 22-gauge, 2" (5.0 cm)Lieppman Cystotome is a commonly used tool during cataract phacoemulsification procedures. The cystotome may be used to create a circular incision in the anterior capsule before proceeding with aspiration of the lens. The tool features a guard to prevent extraneous damage to the surrounding iris or globe tissue.
Littauer Cilia Forceps
3-1/2" (8.9 cm) Littauer Cilia Forceps are an ideal tool for ophthalmologic procedures involving the eyelid. The forceps feature a flat curved tip lending increased surface area for removing the cilia for blepharoplasty or management of blepharitis marginalis. The wide serrated handle gives the surgeon an ergonomic grip during the operation, minimizing fatigue.
Livernois Iol Folding Forceps
angled, concave jaw surface Livernois IOL Folding Forceps are a unique tool used in artificial lens implantation techniques. The forceps are designed to fold the IOL either horizontally or longitudinally to allow for easier implantation. The rounded soft curve of the forceps aids in gripping the IOL with minimal damage or alteration. Ledges on the forceps' tips help stabilize the folding orientation.
Lordan Chalazion Forceps
7.5 mm x 12 mm inside dimension of fenestrated jaw, 3-3/4" (9.5 cm) Lordan Chalazion Forceps are a commonly used tool in diseases of the eyelid. The forceps are meant to expose a chalazion or other cysts of the lid. The forceps feature a non-circular shape for encircling irregularly shaped protrusions. Finally, the fenestrated jaw of the forceps aids in gripping the tissue to prevent slippage.
Mackool Lens Capsule Retractor
1.0 mm hook suspended 0.5 mm from end of tip, 45 degrees angled shaft, 4-3/4" (12.0 cm) Mackool Lens Capsule Retractor is a commonly used tool in cataract surgeries. The retractor is designed to expose the underlying lens by pulling on the edges of the anterior capsule. The 1.0mm hook provides ample traction power and resists slipping.
