Finger Iridectomy Technique (FIT): Anterior Segment Uveal Melanoma Biopsy
August 5, 2025: The article introduces the Finger Iridectomy Technique (FIT), a new method for safely and effectively biopsying anterior eye tumors like uveal melanoma.
FIT uses a small, machine-controlled aspiration cutter that allows for precise tissue removal while minimizing damage to the eye. Compared to traditional fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), FIT offers larger, higher-quality samples and has fewer complications, such as bleeding or increased eye pressure.
This method also allows for simultaneous cell collection, cutting, and hemorrhage control, improving diagnostic accuracy. The article aims to encourage wider adoption of FIT by providing a detailed explanation and video of the technique.
