1. An instrument comprising:

  • a handle having a handle distal end and a handle proximal end;

    an actuation mechanism of the handle having an actuation mechanism distal end and an actuation mechanism proximal end;

    an inner bore of the actuation mechanism;

    a flexible housing tube housing of the actuation mechanism;

    an actuation mechanism control of the actuation mechanism having an actuation mechanism control distal end and an actuation mechanism control proximal end;

    a handle base of the handle having a handle base distal end and a handle base proximal end;

    a flexible housing tube guide of the handle base;

    a handle end cap interface of the handle base;

    an actuation mechanism control guide of the handle base having an actuation mechanism control guide distal end and an actuation mechanism control guide proximal end;

    an actuation mechanism guide of the handle base;

    a handle end cap of the handle having a handle end cap distal end, a handle end cap proximal end, a handle base interface, and a handle base housing, the handle base disposed in the handle base housing wherein the handle end cap interface is adjacent to the handle base interface and wherein the actuation mechanism is disposed in the handle end cap and the handle base wherein the actuation mechanism control is disposed in the actuation mechanism control guide, the actuation mechanism distal end is disposed in handle base, and the actuation mechanism proximal end is disposed in the handle end cap;

    a flexible housing tube having a flexible housing tube distal end and a flexible housing tube proximal end, the flexible housing tube configured for an insertion into a cannula to perform an ophthalmic surgical procedure wherein the flexible housing tube is disposed in the flexible housing tube housing and the flexible housing tube guide; and

    an optic fiber disposed within the inner bore of the actuation mechanism and the flexible housing tube, the optic fiber configured to transmit a laser light.
