Iris Retractors

Iris retractors (also known as iris hooks) are used when a patient has cataracts, contracted pupils, or inoperative floppy iris syndrome. Iris hooks are considered the optimal temporary implants for such conditions. These highly effective iris hooks from FCI Ophthalmics can be used when pharmacological dilation is unsuccessful. By helping to maintain a safe pupillary diameter, iris hooks are, in many cases, invaluable devices for cataract surgery.
