Article on the topic: “Water Eyelid Speculum”

Vodovozova Eyelid expander is a device that is used in ophthalmology to widen the eyelids and access the eyes. It was developed by Russian ophthalmologist Alexander Mikhailovich Vodovozov in the early 20th century and is now widely used in medical practice.

The operating principle of the Vodovozov Eyelid Expander is to use a special plastic tube, which is inserted into the eye cavity through an incision on the eyelid. The tube expands and allows the eyelid to open, allowing access to the eyeball and its surfaces. This allows for various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, such as measuring eye pressure, examining the fundus and others.

One of the advantages of the Vodovozov Eyelid Speculum is its safety and accuracy. It does not cause pain or damage the eye tissue, and does not require a long recovery time after the procedure. In addition, the use of the Vodovozov Eyelid Speculum makes it possible to perform procedures even in hard-to-reach places, such as children or patients with disabilities.

However, like any medical device, the Vodovozova Eyelid Speculum has its limitations and risks. For example, it may cause discomfort and pain in patients and may not be effective for some eye conditions. In addition, improper use of the device can lead to damage to eye tissue or even complete loss of vision.

Thus, the Vodovozova Eyelid Speculum is an important tool for ophthalmologists and other specialists involved in the treatment of eye diseases. However, its use must be based on strict adherence to safety rules and the professional qualifications of the physician.

Vodovozova V.F. - ophthalmologist, author of “Vodovozov Vokorastirulitelya”, eye researcher. In 1861, his essay “A Look at the Eye” was published.
