Fig. 22. Technique of closed-chamber iris repair. Limbal paracentesis (A) allows passage of a long suture needle beneath the proximal edge of the iris, through the distal edge, and out through the cornea (B). The needle is then cut off (C), and the distal end of the suture retrieved through the paracentesis site using a microhook (D). The suture ends are then tied, securing the two edges of iris and repairing the defect.
