Desmarres Lid Retractors are specialty surgical instruments used to retract the eyelids and eyelashes during ophthalmic procedures, such as intravitreal injections. These instruments feature curved blades that fit the contour of the eye and that ensure the retraction is gentle with minimal risk of tissue damage. This retractor is extremely versatile, because its two adjustable blades provide optimal tissue exposure.

Yes, ophthalmologists routinely apply numbing drops before using this instrument to ensure patient comfort during the procedure. The anesthetic prevents discomfort from the retractor's pressure on sensitive lid tissue while maintaining complete safety throughout the examination or surgery.

The Desmarres has a flat, spoon-shaped blade that doctors hold in their hand, giving them full control over how much they pull back the eyelid. Many models have small holes in the blade that help drain tears and fluids during surgery, plus they grip the tissue better than plain smooth tools. Other retractors like speculums use springs or wires to hold both eyelids open at once, but this one lets your doctor adjust pressure and position as needed during the procedure.

Yes, these instruments come in six standard sizes numbered 0 through 5 to match different patient needs and procedures. Size 0 and 1 work well for infants and small children, while sizes 2 and 3 suit most adult patients. Sizes 4 and 5 provide maximum blade width for deep-set eyes or surgeries requiring extensive tissue retraction and broader surgical access.

Check that the surface is smooth and well-polished to avoid tissue irritation. Ensure it is made from medical-grade stainless steel for durability and safe sterilization. A balanced handle also helps maintain steady control during use.

While possible, eye doctors typically reserve this instrument for surgical procedures, biopsies, or detailed examinations requiring extended lid retraction. For standard check-ups, practitioners usually use their fingers or simpler tools since the Desmarres provides more exposure than routine exams demand.
