Abstract:
To help ensure proper placement of an iris fixation suture, a peripheral iridectomy can be performed to allow visualization of the superior haptic of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL). In cases where support for the PC-IOL is in question, an iris fixation suture using this technique provides an easy way of ensuring adequate support.
