An asymmetric membrane removing forceps may include a stationary forceps jaw having a stationary forceps jaw distal end and a stationary forceps jaw proximal end and an actuating forceps jaw having an actuating forceps jaw distal end and an actuating forceps jaw proximal end. A compression of an actuation structure may be configured to extend a hypodermic tube over a portion of the stationary forceps jaw and over a portion of the actuating forceps jaw. An extension of the hypodermic tube over the portion of the stationary forceps jaw and over the portion of the actuating forceps jaw may be configured to actuate the actuating forceps jaw relative to the stationary forceps jaw. The extension of the hypodermic tube over the portion of the stationary forceps jaw and over the portion of the actuating forceps jaw may be configured not to actuate the stationary forceps jaw.
