Hello. I am wanting to find a few tools seen in movies. I am wanting to find eye and mouth "clasps" I have done several searches online but I could only find a dental mouth "bridge" which looked kinda like eyelash pluckers to me. The kinda tools you see in horror style movies to hold open peoples eyes and mouths in a "torture"-like" way presumably from antique style medicine. I have attached a pic from clockwork orange of the eye ones, I couldnt find the pic I wanted of the mouth piece. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. TiA..
 
It's called an "Eyelid Retractor" or "Eyelid-Retractor" depending on who you talk to. Here's an image of a antique surgeon's case, the retractor in the upper right of the case is similar in design.

Good grief.
By the sounds of that it seems you're lucky that you made it with your eyesight intact.
Sorry you had to go through that.
