Corneal Scissors

Object Details

Description
This type of corneal scissors was associated with Ramon Castroveijo (1904-1987), an eye surgeon who was born in Spain, who spent most of his working life in the United States, and who was known particularly for his work with corneal transplants. These belonged to Milton Elliott Randolph (1905-1992), an ophthalmologist who taught at the Wilmer Eye Institute of the Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore. They were made by Storz.
