An exemplary method for expanding and maintaining an intraocular opening includes compressing along an axis a circular body comprising a first pocket, a second pocket, a third pocket and a fourth pocket positioned vertically below a top band section. Inserting intraocular tissue of an eye in the first pocket of the compressed circular body, thereby elongating the intraocular opening, and inserting the intraocular tissue in the second pocket and the third pocket as the body decompresses. Decompressing the body and inserting the intraocular tissue in the fourth pocket thereby expanding the intraocular opening.
