Iridoplasty using the SWEET technique

Show Description +

Michael Waggoner, DO, and Alex W. Cohen, MD, PhD, describe the SWEET technique to repair a large iridodialysis, which is short for scleral weave excluding knot. After the iris is repositioned, a suture is passed several times through the sceral in a shoelace formation to provide adequate tension without a knot.
