Abstract :
Disinsertion of iris from its attachment is called iridodialysis. Symptomatic and large iridodialysis often requires repair. Repair of iridodialysis is complex and often require special instruments and good surgical expertise. We describe a simple suture technique to repair an iatrogenic iridodialysis caused during small incision cataract surgery in a 62 year-old patient. This technique is simple and involves very minimal tissue handling. The primary aim of us doing this procedure is the functional and cosmetic result which can be obtained in the same sitting as the primary procedure with common available instruments.
