Abstract
This article describes possibilities of surgical repair of iris defects without any artificial implants. By using thread or stitches we can repair almost all iris defects. The only condition is “enough” of not damaged iris. Posttraumatic, postinflammatory and postoperative lesions, like congenital anomalies, can be treated in this way. Surgical, stichtes help improve vision and to remove cosmetic defects.
