    Colleagues,

    We have been recording from an implanted eye coil for several months, and
    have recently noted behavior that suggests a slight slippage of the coil on
    the eye that may be of the order of 30 minarc.
    I would like to know what experience people might have with suturing the
    coil to the sclera to prevent such motion.
    Does anyone recommend use of nonabsorbable sutures to secure the coil to
    the sclera? We used cyanoacrylate glue at the time of implantation, but no
    sutures.
