Abstract
Purpose:
To repair iridodialysis in a traumatized eye with minimal surgical manipulation.
Methods:
We examined a patient with traumatic iridodialysis. The separated iris obstructed the visual axis and was cosmetically disfiguring.
Results:
At surgery we secured the iridodialysis to the anterior chamber angle by using a new technique with double-armed McCannell suture.
Conclusion:
Compared with other procedures, this technique is simple and provides the least amount of ocular manipulation for iridodialysis repair.
