Abstract: An eye depressor with a light for directing through a sclera. The depressor may removably accommodate a light instrument that might be used to illuminate an area in an eye during an eye surgery. The coupling of the light instrument to the depressor during the procedure may reduce the number of hands required in carrying out the surgery. This may be of particular benefit for eye surgery where limited surgical space is available.

Abstract: A dissolvable medical device for protecting a corneal surface and providing lubrication and hydration to the corneal surface during ophthalmic surgery comprising: a polymeric film has sufficient dimensions to substantially cover a cornea when applied to an eye, wherein the polymeric film comprising one or more mucoadhesive polymers. The polymeric film dissolves between 15 minutes to 120 minutes to release the mucoadhesive polymers after applying the polymeric film to the eye and the polymeric film provides more effective corneal surface protection relative to a saline treatment based on Mean Green Fluorescence Index test (demonstrates corneal damage) during a simulated surgery. In addition, a kit for use in ophthalmic surgical procedures comprises 1) the at least one dissolvable medical device and 2) at least one viscosurgical viscoelastic or at least one ophthalmoscopic surgical contact lens.
