Amsler Puncture Needle

The Amsler puncture needle (AMS) is a special instrument that is used in ophthalmology to perform ophthalmic operations. It was developed by Swiss ophthalmologist Otto Amsler in 1890.

The principle of the needle is that it is inserted through the cornea of ​​the eye into the vitreous body, which is located behind the retina. The needle has a special design that allows it to penetrate the cornea without damaging it. Once the needle is inserted into the vitreous, it is used to remove various formations such as cataracts or retinal detachments.

The Amsler puncture needle is one of the most common instruments in ophthalmology and is used to perform various eye surgeries. However, its use requires high qualifications and experience from the doctor, since improper use of the needle can lead to serious complications.

An Amsler puncture needle is an instrument used in ophthalmology to perform a puncture (puncture) of the cornea of ​​the eye. This instrument was developed by Swiss ophthalmologist Othmar Amsler in 1881.

An Amsler puncture needle is a thin needle that has a sharp tip at the end that allows you to puncture the cornea. The needle is used to perform various operations on the cornea, such as removing foreign bodies, treating keratitis (inflammation of the cornea), and also to inject drugs into the cornea.

The use of an Amsler puncture needle is a safe and effective method of treating the cornea of ​​the eye, as it allows the operation to be performed without damaging surrounding tissue. In addition, this needle has a small diameter, which minimizes the risk of corneal damage and reduces discomfort for the patient.

However, like any other instrument, the Amsler puncture needle can lead to complications if used incorrectly or by an unqualified specialist. Therefore, to perform an operation using this instrument, it is necessary to contact experienced ophthalmologists who have sufficient experience working with an Amsler needle and can ensure the safety of the patient.
