Connin-Amsler Marker

Description

Connin-Amsler Marker

The Connin-Amsler marker places reference marks on the eye. Surgeons use those marks to guide incisions and alignment.

Why mark the eye

The eye can rotate when the patient lies down. Marks made beforehand show the true axis. As a result, alignment stays accurate.

Where the Connin-Amsler marker is used

Eye surgeons use it before corneal and lens surgery. In addition, it helps in teaching. It also suits refractive work.

Technique

Apply marking ink to the tips. Then press gently on the eye. Also, check the marks before starting.

Pairing

Fine forceps and dissectors complete the set. Together they cover early steps. Many trays include a marker.

Accuracy

A steady hand gives clean marks. Therefore, rest the wrist on a support. Then press straight down.

Inspection

Check the marking tips under magnification. Then make sure no tip has bent. That keeps marks precise.

Connin-Amsler marker and toric lenses

Toric lenses correct astigmatism only when they sit on the right axis. For that reason, a reference mark made while the patient sits upright helps the surgeon align the lens later.
