Eye retractors are specialized ophthalmic surgical instruments used to retract the eyelids, sclera, and orbital tissues to maintain clear exposure during eye procedures in ophthalmology, oculoplastic surgery, and ophthalmic microsurgery. Designed for precise tissue handling with minimal trauma, these reusable instruments are crafted from premium AISI 420 German stainless steel with a glare-reducing matte finish.
