Description: Segment 1 A small incision is made in the conjunctiva (membrane that covers the white of the eye) and enlarged. A hook is inserted and a tendon is picked up. Muscle and tendon are dissected with scissors. A tucker (type of surgical instrument) is inserted beneath the tendon and opened, creating a 'tuck'. A suture needle is passed through the centre of the tuck. The needle is removed, leaving the thread in two strands. The two strands are each tied about a half of the tuck.
