eye calipers
Eye calipers are precision ophthalmic measuring instruments designed to ensure accurate, consistent measurements during delicate eye surgeries and clinical evaluations. Commonly used in cataract surgery, corneal procedures, glaucoma surgeries, and oculoplastic interventions, these calipers help surgeons mark and measure corneal diameters, incision lengths, and intraocular distances with exceptional accuracy. Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, eye calipers are corrosion-resistant, autoclavable, and designed for repeated use in sterile environments. Popular models include Castroviejo, Barraquer, and McIntyre calipers, each offering fine-pointed tips and clearly marked metric or dual scales for reliable measurements. The smooth, adjustable arms allow for precise spacing without damaging sensitive ocular tissues. Essential for ophthalmologists and microsurgeons, eye calipers provide critical measurement precision that enhances surgical planning, improves alignment, and ensures optimal clinical outcomes.
