An ophthalmic surgical probe for treating an eye of a patient includes a body, a cutting element extending distally from the body (the cutting element having a sleeve member with a port at an end), an inner member disposed within the sleeve member (the inner member being movable axially with respect to the sleeve member to open and close the port), and an actuating element secured to the inner member (the actuating member configured for operation in both a resonant mode and a non-resonant mode).
