Iris retractors may be required in cases of small pupil, intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS), pupils that don’t respond to pharmacological dilation, or when a manual dilation method is preferred.
In our pursuit of perfect cataract surgery, we ophthalmologists have recognized the need for good intraoperative mydriasis.
A well-dilated pupil is optimal for cataract surgery, including laser-assisted procedures, because it provides greater access to the cloudy lens, thus facilitating the surgical procedure and minimizing potential surgical complications.
Dr. Ehud Assia demonstrates the APX (Assia Pupil Expander, APX Ophthalmology Ltd., Haifa, Israel), a new device for pupil dilation.
