title: [A non traumatic suture for corneal lacerations (author's transl)].
abstract: A suturing technique for cases of corneal trauma is discussed, by means of which, the complications formerly incurred with a running-suture may be avoided. Suture infections, ulceration and the formation of scars in the center of the cornea, as well as the subjective "scratchy" feeling reported by patients, can be largely or totally eliminated, because the single knot is buried in the conjunctiva at the limbus.
