thanks for the video, nice job, I got one similar patient post-traumatic with severely distorted pupil and iris dialysis that I repaired, but I found that by not making a scleral flap for iris repair will pull the iris upward like this case too, making a scleral flap not only help in burying the prolene suture knot but also be sure the iris is in its Plan rather than pulled upward into the corneal side
