Of course the underlying cause must be cared for, whatever it may beiris scissors, and cocaine 4%. Introduce between the lids the speculum. With the fixation forceps grasp the conjunctiva directly opposite the point of incision (on the opposite side of the cornea, understand), and thus control the eyeball.
