Ophthalmic needles are thin, hollow instruments used alongside syringes to deliver fluids like anesthetics or medications directly into or around the eye. They may also assist in procedures such as removing fluid (e.g., aqueous humour) or positioning implants, often targeting muscles or internal structures with precision.
These devices are designed for single-use only and are typically made from metal or plastic. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk level, with compliance requirements ensuring sterility and safety for delicate ocular procedures.
