Abstract
PURPOSE: To repair iridodialysis in a traumatized eye with minimal sur gical manipulation. METHODS: We examined a patient with traumatic irid odialysis. The separated iris obstructed the visual axis and was cosme tically disfiguring. RESULTS: At surgery we secured the iridodialysis to the anterior chamber angle by using a new technique with double-arm ed McCannell suture. CONCLUSION: Compared with other procedures, this technique is simple and provides the least amount of ocular manipulati on for iridodialysis repair.
