Phacoemulsification (Phaco) Surgery in small non dilating pupil

Presence of a small pupil is considered a major challenge for cataract surgeons. Appropriate mydriasis and maintaining it is of paramount importance to prevent potential serious 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, anterior capsular tear, increased inflammation, irregular pupil shape, posterior capsular rupture, and retained lens material. Furthermore, the pathology of the lens zonular apparatus, loss of lens capsule elasticity, and increase of nucleus hardness should be considered as the factors aggravating cataract surgery through the small pupil.
