I've searched the forums, and the Web for information on what the best brands for ophthalmic surgical instruments are, but can't seem to find any information, not even if one should get titanium, steel or both for different instruments. I've checked costs for Katalyst , Duckworth and so on, but would like to know other posters opinions and experiences with the different brands. The thing is where I work at there is no real equipment and we must get our own, and I would like to avoid costly mistakes since I would be ordering to the USA and have it sent over to my country
