  • Title: Iridectomy in rubeosis iridis.
    Author: Hersh SB, Kass MA.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1976; 7(1):19-21. PubMed ID: 1264416.
    Abstract:
    Creating an iridectomy in the face of rubeosis iridis carries a significant risk of hyphema. A technique is described utilizing a bipolar micro-cautery to cauterize iris vessels under direct observation before cutting iris tissue. This allows the iridectomy to be performed with less risk of intraocular bleeding.
