Blumenthal Suturelysis Lens from Volk Optical, Inc.

The new Volk Blumenthal Suturelysis lens provides unprecedented visibility of trabeculectomy flap sutures, enabling cutting sutures which, with other suturelysis lens designs, are relatively inaccessible. The lens provides localized compressive forces and magnifies the appearance of the suture 2-3 times, resulting in enhanced visibility in difficult situations, and smooth & easy suturelysis in routine cases.  The pointed tip enables applying a strong compressive force that adds to the visibility and stabilization of the treated area. This feature is particularly beneficial with patients with thick Tenon's layer or a subconjunctival hemorrhage.
