Application of flexible light guides in ophthalmological devices and light sources permits to develop the tools for illumination of surgical field, transilluminators for eyes, combinations of instruments with tools for intraocular manipulations. An eye transilluminator has been produced and tested with a set of attachments comprising fiver-optic light-guiding elements. This instrument allows to reveal foreign particles in the eye's vitreous body and in the surrounding tissues, and to diagnose some pathological changes.
