Described here is a surgical device that typically is used to releasably hold the cornea of a human eye (and hence that eye) in such a way as to modestly deform the cornea and the eye, to maintain the eye's position for procedures upon the epithilial layer of the cornea, and to allow ease of replacement of an epithilial flap should one be produced. It may be used in combination with an epithilial delaminating tool, or an ocular device inserting tool. The stabilization device permits ready access to and creation of flaps or pockets of epithelium for later introduction of correcting lenses (e.g. using an ocular device insertion tool) or subtractive procedures such as LASIK or LASEK, prior to replacement of epithelium over the corrective lens or over the site of laser induced or surgically-induced corrective procedure.
