Abstract

Dr. SAJJAD HAMID FAZILI

Small pupil during Phacoemulsification is a well-known risk factor associated with numerous complications ..Inadequate preoperative mydriasis and/or intraoperative miosis might result in iris trauma and photophobia.One of the most significant cataract surgery complications – vitreous loss in patients whose pupils failed to dilate increases by a factor of two,anterior capsular tear, increased inflammation, irregular pupil shape, posterior capsular rupture, and retained lens material.

A good pre operative assessment , thorough knowledge of what can go wrong , what can be done and strategies will b highlighted . There are four main surgical maneuvers to be considered when the pupil is not sufficiently dilated despite all the pharmacological methods are synechiolysis, pupil stretching, iris cutting, and the use of mechanical pupil expanders.Floppy iris is a special challenge and Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery and Small Pupils will be discussed . Small pupil made safe !
