Abstract
The authors describe a method to improve teaching the most critical step in strabismus surgery, the scleral pass. The attending surgeon fashions a scleral tunnelby performing the scleral pass and retracting the needle so the resident can pass it through the same tunnel. This ultimately helps decrease complications during surgical training. © 2021 SLACK Incorporated.
