A simplified light filter for microsurgery.

A simple, no-cost filter has been devised by the authors to prevent potentially harmful light from reaching the retina during a microsurgical procedure. The filter is made by cutting a 6-mm circle from the edge of a Weck-cel package, then soaking it in balanced salt solution. The disc is placed on the cornea except when manipulations are being performed in the anterior chamber.
