title: Performing peripheral iridectomy via a scleral tunnel incision: a new approach.
abstract: A peripheral iridectomy (PI) is sometimes difficult to perform through a sclero-corneal tunnel. This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of a newly proposed technique for performing a PI. The results showed that a PI can be easily performed through a sclero-corneal tunnel, employing this technique.
