Abstract
The author prefers the Liégard suture to that of Kalt; that is, the lower insertion of the suture is horizontally for two millimeters through the corneal tissue at the limbus, and the upper insertion is carried more broadly through the conjunctiva and episcleral tissue three millimeters above. The advantages of the corneal suture over the conjunctival bridge are that removal of the lens capsule is easier, that incision of the iris root can be more conveniently done, that wound closure is more secure, and that any tendency to vitreous prolapse is more easily dealt with.
