title: Double-armed McCannell suture for repair of traumatic iridodialysis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compared with other procedures, this technique is simple and provides the least amount of ocular manipulation for iridodialysis repair.
