Consultation Section

Cataract Surgical Problem
A now 63-year-old man was referred for management of a dense cataract involving the left eye several years after trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C (MMC) augmentation for previously uncontrolled glaucoma associated with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF). The history shows that filtering surgery was performed successfully in early 2007.

Techniques

Reversed needle pass clear-corneal or limbal incision suturing technique using the 3-throw (1-1-1) adjustable square knot
