Non-contact vitrectomy system is designed with a flexible arm for positioning wide angle lenses which easily swings in and out of the surgical field. The clamps attaches to the wrist rest or surgical bed, freeing the surgeon's hands and the assistant to perform tasks other than holding a lens. When used with an upright vitrectomy lens, the system allows the surgeon to work in the vitreous with an upright, non-reversed image under panoramic conditions. It can also hold an indirect lens for use with separate inverter.
