Abstract:
In this study, a procedure for iridodialysis repair using an elegant, cost-effective, and quick technique using 6-0 polypropylene sutures, low-temperature electrocautery, and a 27-gauge needle is presented. Previously, all methods required performing a conjunctival peritomy to expose bare sclera and then typically intricate movements and knot tying. The method described in this study combined the sewing machine technique and a modified Yamane scleral-fixation technique to treat iridodialysis that required no knots, peritomies, or specialized equipment.
