A substantially self-sealing episcleral incision having an approximate central point 1.5 to 3.0 millimeters posterior to the limbus. Portions of the incision extending from the approximate central point extend laterally away from the curvature of the limbus. The configuration of the self-sealing incision allows the incision to seal as the eye is inflated following surgery and therefore requires no sutures for sealing. Accordingly, the probability of astigmatism is eliminated or greatly reduced and the reliance on sutures is eliminated.
