Closed chamber iridoplasty

Ophthalmic Surgery

Abstract

A patient with iatrogenic, ultrasound-induced hemi-iris atrophy complained of intraocular lens edge glare and intolerable monocular diplopia. A surgical reconstruction of the iris was undertaken utilizing a new suture manufactured by Ethicon for retention and stabilization of the pupillary lens implant during secondary procedures. A straight general surgical needle 15 mm in length swedged to a 10-0 prolene ophthalmic suture is used to cross the anterior chamber limbus to limbus. The resulting horizontal trans AC suture retains the pupillary lens in position. The McCannel suture technique is modified to produce intracameral iris repair with interrupted 10-0 prolene.
