Abstract

Purpose: To estimate incidence and risk factors of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS).

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary care center. Detail history and examination data were reviewed for all patients who underwent phacoemulsification during January 2022 to June 2022. Patients were divided into IFIS and non- IFIS group. The risk factors like alpha blocker use, diabetes and hypertension were statistically analysed in the two groups.

Results: 158 patients were included. IFIS was observed in 8 patients (5.06%). Male gender (P = 0.04), hypertension (P = 0.01) and tamsulosin intake (P <0.0001) were significant risk factors for IFIS, while the risk was not significant in diabetics (P=0.98) and in patients on silodosin (P=0.69). Conclusion: IFIS has a higher incidence in Indian population. Unlike tamsulosin, silodosin is not a significant risk factor. Male gender and hypertension are other significant risk factors.
