Purpose: To describe trocar-assisted method of Nonappositional repair of iridodialysis.
Methods: The technique described involves placement of a 25 G trocar at the limbus wherein the lumen of the cannula works as a guide to introduce a double arm polypropylene suture attached to the long arm needle thereby preventing any accidental entrapment of corneal fibers into the needle.
Results: The technique was performed in 7 cases and no entrapment of corneal tissue was observed while maneuvering the suture needle through paracentesis incision during an iridodialysis repair procedure. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography demonstrated closure of the limbal trocar wound at 1-week follow-up. No incidence of wound leak or Descemets membrane detachment was observed.
Conclusion: The technique allows performing iridodialysis repair in technically challenging situations by directing the needle appropriately and preventing any undulating movement inside the anterior chamber. The trocar-assisted method serves as an effective method to perform non-appositional iridodialysis repair.

Background: Iridodialysis, the separation of the iris root from the ciliary body, typically results from trauma and can lead to significant visual impairment. This case report is novel as it demonstrates the successful management of iridodialysis using an extended depth of focus intraocular lens in a patient with a slightly irregular pupil.
Case Presentation: A 34-year-old Hispanic man presented with reduced vision and pain in his right eye following blunt trauma from a nail at work.

: The aim of this review paper is to summarise surgical options available for repairing iris defects at the iris-lens plane, focusing on suturing techniques, iridodialysis repair, and prosthetic iris devices. : A thorough literature search was conducted using multiple databases, including Medline, PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, and the Cochrane Library, from inception to February 2024. Relevant studies were screened based on predefined criteria, and primary references cited in selected articles were also reviewed.

Purpose: To present the flattened flanged polypropylene suture technique developed to obtain round and stable pupils in patients with iridodialysis.
Methods: After performing a fornix-based conjunctival peritomy, a flange was created at the tip of a 6.0 polypropylene suture by cautery.
