Introduction
Recent developments in cataract surgery all tend towards
high sophistication in instrumentation and technique. This
sophistication with its high costs is not feasible in
underprivileged circumstances.
To reduce costs in ophthalmic surgery, one could make its own
surgical equipment, instead of buying expensive equipment.
These tools should be of good quality, easily sterilisable,
useable in a good surgical technique, made out of materials that
are almost everywhere available and, of course, they should not
be too difficult to make.
The tools necessary for manufacturing some of these instruments
are made available in the Ophthamic Toolbox.
