title: A disposable 8-mm "corneal cap" to reduce surgical light exposure.
abstract: I have devised an easily-fashioned disposable "corneal cap" that reduces light exposure to the retina from the operating microscope. The 8-mm plastic cap is the cut end of the test chamber included in all packages of disposable handpieces and tubing for automated irrigation and aspiration instruments.
