Pediatric ophthalmologist Donny Suh, M.D., of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, invented a new syringe that enables users to safely perform one-handed injections with improved control.

He demonstrates on a high-fidelity eye model just how difficult it can be to inject a child's eye with medications. (WARNING: This footage may be disturbing for some viewers.)

As a contrast, Dr. Suh also demonstrates how the new syringe he invented significantly improves the procedure with greater control and precision.

The syringe is particularly useful in several delicate medical procedures, like correcting crossed or lazy eyes in children. The syringe frees up the other hand to safely secure the injection site, allowing doctors even more precision.

Dr. Suh's improved syringe has a wide range of potential applications, including ear-nose-throat, rheumatology, plastic surgery, and self-injections, among others.
