Each surgeon will have his or her own preferences and will modify the set shown above accordingly. Any type of strabismus surgery can be done with the set as is, but some surgeons prefer to use resection clamps, tendon tuckers, square green hooks, etc. which could be added to "flesh out" the basic set. This instrument set is available from Katena Products, Danville, NJ, USA, phone (973) 989-1600. The authors have no proprietary interest.
* These may be replaced by two curved Helveston modifications of the "moody curved locking castroviejo forceps". |

The 5mm "teaser" hook is an all purpose utility type hook. It can be used in localizing the inferior and superior oblique and for a variety of other tasks. This hook is also used for clearing the tips of the two hooks holding the rectus muscle when using the fornix incision.
The new tying forceps #18 are delicate and user friendly.
A scleral ruler is particularly useful when measuring from the limbus or when doing a posterior fixation suture. A small pointed tip on the underside of the ruler enables safe marking in the sclera producing a "blue dot" which remains for sufficient time to help with accurate muscle reattachment. This instrument is a slight modification of the (William) Scott ruler.
