The technique of using two continuous sutures of different caliber and relative tightness, running in the same direction, is described for penetrating keratoplasties. The primary purpose of the technique is to allow visual correction earlier in the postoperative period. In addition, graft slippage with override and posterior wound gape, both occurring at suture removal with resultant functional loss, have been eliminated.
