Specialized surgical instrumentation is necessary to achieve optimal results. This article reviews the essential surgical instruments required for these routine ophthalmic surgeries and provides guidelines for suture selection. Recommendations for handling and care of ophthalmic surgical instruments, including cleaning, sterilization, and storage, are provided.
