Self-sealing technique closes corneal incisions without sutures, glue or hydration

WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — A new technique for the closure of corneal incisions uses a valve mechanism of shelved incision, according to a speaker here.“The idea is that the interior incision is closed up against the exterior incision and the pressure inside the eye keeps the wound self-sealing,” Kayman Naseri, MD, told colleagues at Hawaiian Eye.
