An ophthalmic surgical system detects a change in a viscosity of a material being aspirated from an eye The system includes a control module connected to an aspiration pump and a flow meter connected to the control module and the aspiration pump The flow meter provides a flow rate of material aspirated from the eye by the aspiration pump A surgical handpiece connected to the aspiration pump and the control module is inserted into the eye during surgery. The control module during surgery, detects a step change in the flow rate of material aspirated from the eye and the control module further causes the surgical system to alert a surgeon that a change in viscosity of the material being aspirated has been detected indicating that the handpiece has moved from a material of a first viscosity to a material of a second viscosity.

An adjustable ophthalmic surgery chandelier illuminator has a glass optic fiber with a conical exterior surface at its distal end that disburses illumination in the interior of the eye. The glass fiber is contained in a retractable needle that has a long, sharp beveled surface that facilitates insertion of the needle and the optic fiber into the eye, and then is retracted relative to the fiber distal end to adjust the field of illumination inside the eye.
