Atlas and epitome of operative ophthalmology . eye fifteen months later : The position of thenasal portion of the lower lid is not quite correct, but the patient is sat-isfied and refuses to have anything more done. suture is passed through the traumatic pterygium afterthe fold of conjunctiva has been carefully separated fromthe globe (and, if necessary, also from the conjunctiva)without denuding any more tissue than is absolutely nec-essary. The two needles are inserted, at a distance ofabout 3 to 4 mm. from one another, into the transitionalportion of the lower lid, brought out through the latter,and the sutures tied over a little roll of cotton. Thewound, which is indicated by the dotted line, is thenprepared for closure by means of two incisions runningparallel to the corneal margin and by undermining conjunctiva laterally, and closure effected bymeans of 2 or 3 horizontal sutures. As the bulbar con-junctiva is extremely movable, it can be utilized for cov-ering a defect in this way without undue stretching. ^^1.
