Simplified limbal approach in squint surgery.

The limbal approach is not new to squint surgery* but, despite its considerable advantages in exposure and subsequent healing, the methods described so far are not easy to perform to obtain the best final results. In particular, the incision commonly described needs very accurate suturing of the conjunctival flap with its two radially placed incisions to achieve a good cosmetic result. The method described below uses a triangular flap of conjunctiva which needs only a single limbal suture to restore limbal anatomy and is therefore much more easily performed.
