can you google what type of ophth
Subject: can you google what type of ophth

procedure you are working on? For instance, the #44 island peeling forceps, google for peeling forceps + procedure. "limmuth" is probably limbus (edge or border or a part) and "lubetadine" sounds like Betadine - sure this is not a numbing topical anesthetic drop? Sorry for lack of help - sounds you have your hands full with this one.
