title: Praeger micro irrigating hook for intraocular lens implantation.
abstract: A new micro blunt irrigating hook is introduced for utilization in intraocular lens implant  surgery. It is simple, inexpensive, and requires no previous experience. It allows for adequate reposition of the superior loop of any type of lens along with the recovery of the proximal loop of a McCannel suture. Finally, it allows the most inexperienced operator to center a lens ideally in a totally deep chamber, avoiding the vicissitudes of either perforation of the posterior capsule, anterior hyloid, or damage to the delicate endothelium.
