title: Self-sealing incision for peripheral iridectomy.
abstract: A peripheral iridectomy was done in 42 cases using an incision perpendicular to the cornea at the anterior edge of the conjunctival epithelium. No conjunctivalflap or sutures were used. No attempt was made to reform the anterior chamber by irrigation of fluid through the incision. The results were satisfactory.
