Double-armed McCannell suture for repair of traumatic iridodialysis.

Purpose: To repair iridodialysis in a traumatized eye with minimal surgical manipulation.

Methods: We examined a patient with traumatic iridodialysis. The separated iris obstructed the visual axis and was cosmetically disfiguring.

Results: At surgery we secured the iridodialysis to the anterior chamber angle by using a new technique with double-armed McCannell suture.

Conclusion: Compared with other procedures, this technique is simple and provides the least amount of ocular manipulation for iridodialysis repair.
