An illuminated suction needle for air-fluid exchange after vitrectomy. 1985

G A Peyman

We have developed an illuminated suction needle for air-fluid exchange and internal drainage of subretinal fluid. When combined with an indirect ophthalmoscope, this instrument simplifies these intraoperative maneuvers in air-filled phakic eyes.
