Twofold technique for iridodialysis repair

Abstract

Background: Disinsertion of iris leads to debilitating sequelae like diplopia and glare. Hence, iridodialysis repair is essential to optimize the visual quality. Iris base repair often leads to corectopia that necessitates an additional procedure to optimize the pupil shape and size. Twofold technique helps to achieve both the aspects.

Purpose: To highlight the technique of twofold iridodialysis repair.

Synopsis: The video highlights the method of twofold iridodialysis repair, wherein nonappositional repair is followed by single-pass four-throw (SFT) pupilloplasty that allows adequate closure of varied degrees of iridodialysis along with centration of eccentric pupil.

Highlights: The twofold technique is a combination of nonappositional iris repair and SFT procedure. It can be clinically applied in all cases of iridodialysis with varied degrees of severity.
