Botheyes should be kept bandaged for at least four days. Instead of a conjunctival incision, a flap of conjunctiva may be turnedback from near the cornea. Some surgeons include only one-third of thetendon in each suture which is tied around the edge (Landolt) ().In convergent squint, surgeons are coming more and more to practise ad-vancement of the external rectus, leaving the internal rectus untouched. The operation of shortening the muscle consists in making a tuck, foldingthe muscle upon the tendon. The muscle-folding operation is best done with a catgut suture. Theconjunctiva is incised so as to expose the attachment of the tendon. Aloop of the muscle is lifted up on a blunt hook. The needle, carrying adouble thread, is passed through the tendon at its insertion in the sclera and TREATMENT OF INJURIES AND DISEASES OF THE HEAD 177 then through the muscle posterior to the hook (Fig. 845). Three interlock-ing sutures suffice. The fold of muscle may be left
