IN the operation of cataract extraction, we have used for several years a large number of corneo-scleral sutures. Operations are carried out in the classical way (corneal incision with a Graefe knife or with keratome and scissors with no conjunctival flap) and the wound is then closed by at least eleven sutures of 10/0 virgin silk using triangular corneal needles of the Vogt-Barraquer type (Grieshaber 81/7). These sutures are not removed. Firm hermetic closure of the wound is thus obtained. This suture technique allowed us to extend our previous observations on the post-operative behaviour of the eye (Giardini and Paliaga, 1961a, b; 1962a, b).
