Figure 1.

Schematic picture showing steps of Siepser slip-knot technique for iris suturing for focal defects: (a)—inserting the Prolene suture through the paracentesis; (b)—the peripheral loop of the suture is grasped with a Sinskey hook and brought through the opposite paracenthesis, bypassing the anterior chamber; (c)—a double-throw slipknot is then performed outside the anterior chamber; (d)—both sutures are extracted outwards, pulling the knots back into the anterior chamber and opposing the iris tissue at the edges; (e)—the suture ends are trimmed. Arrows indicate the direction of movement.
