[A modified cataract incision: limbal step incision with partial conjunctival covering of the suture (author's transl)].

The authors describe a cataract incision technique, which combines the advantages of the corneoscleral site (conjunctival covering, mechanical strength of the resulting scar) with those of a corneal incision (sparing of the angle structures, good visibility, simple and nontraumatic suture removal) and those of a continuous nylon suture (unimpaired wound healing, even adaptation).
