FIELD: ophthalmology, in particular, treatment of eyes.
SUBSTANCE: forceps has two branches with stop for blocking at predetermined mutual arrangement, and working parts formed as transverse jaws. Inoperative ends of branches are interconnected by means of detachable connection. Jaws have outer radial surfaces for receiving of tarsal plate at side opposite to branch side, said surfaces being made in the form of guides for cutting instrument adapted for correcting upper eyelid ptosis. Jaws are provided with tissue retaining protrusions having elongated bases oriented transverse to branches and equipped with openings for receiving said protrusions. Each branch is connected with ends of each jaw through straight or curved rods with multiangular or rounded cross-sections. Straight or curved rods have grooves and/or gaps for instrument for forming plica conjunctivae and upper tarsal muscle. Such construction provides for improved engagement of forceps working part with tissues under operation.
EFFECT: increased efficiency of operative intervention owing to engagement of forceps with other instruments commonly used for correcting of upper eyelet ptosis.
