Ophthalmic instrument are treated in the same method as all other instruments. If you put your instruments in the ultra sonic before the washer disinfector, then it applies to ophthalmic instruments as well. Cannulated instruments should be cleaned prior the machine cleaning using air guns or other means. The only exception related to ophthalmic instruments is that since they are delicate, special steps should be taken to avoid damage (cover net over the instruments, etc.)
