Summary:Healon can assist in the repair of penetrating segment injuries by maintaining a deep anterior chamber that allows easier suturing of the wound and easier repositioning of the iris, by protecting the corneal endothelium during surgery, and by separating peripheral iridocorneal adhesions. We describe this technique in repair of an eye with a limbus-to-limbus corneal laceration.
