Photo: Scleral suture with iris prolapse

Last updated December 29, 2007

Here is a photograph of a scleral suture holding a complicated cataract incision closed. You can see a spot of pigment to the right of the x-suture … this is a piece of iris that has prolapsed up out the wound and is wicking aqueous out of the anterior chamber.

To get a better idea how this looks, you may want to watch our iris prolapse video to get a better idea how this looks.
