Corneal flap incision technique for sutureless cataract surgery.
A self-sealing incision technique for cataract surgery has been developed. It is appropriate for implantation of rigid-optic intraocular lenses (IOLs) up to 7.0 mm. The incision is designed to meet the principle criteria of sutureless cataract surgery, such as optimal instrument handling, easy IOL implantation, and minimal postoperative patient care.
