Effect of cataract extraction on the pupil response to mydriatics.

"Iris-assisted," open-sky, continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis technique for combined cataract extraction and corneal transplantation.

The authors describe "iris-assisted," open-sky, continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) in a triple procedure combining corneal transplantation, cataract extraction, and intraocular lens implantation. They do not use miotics or mydriatics. Patients receive oral acetazolamide (250 mg), intravenous mannitol (5 mL/kg), and Honan balloon at 30 mm Hg for 20 to 30 minutes before surgery. After tre...

The clinical utility of new combination phenylephrine/ketorolac injection in cataract surgery

The maintenance of mydriasis throughout cataract extraction surgery and the control of ocular inflammation are crucial for successful surgical outcomes. The development of miosis during cataract surgery compromises the visualization of the surgical field and working space for surgeons. This may lead to complications that include posterior capsular tear and associated vitreous loss, longer surgi...

Phacoemulsification without preoperative mydriasis in patients with age-related cataract associated with type 2 diabetes

AIM To study the effect of intracameral injection of preservative-free lignocaine to induce pupil dilatation, without using any preoperative dilating eyedrops or intraoperative mydriatics in patients with age-related cataract associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. DESIGN This was a prospective, observational, and interventional case series conducted at a tertiary eyecare center in rural In...

Miotics or mydriatics for atony of the ciliary muscle with delayed re-formation of anterior chamber after cataract extraction with complete iridectomy.

Use of a New Ocular Insert versus Conventional Mydriasis in Cataract Surgery

BACKGROUND To compare the efficacy and safety of a new ocular insert versus conventional mydriasis in cataract surgery. METHODS We selected 70 patients undergoing cataract surgery. Thirty five patients (Group 1) received instillation of mydriatic drops (tropicamide 1%, phenylephrine 10%, and cyclopentolate 1%) prior to surgery, and 35 patients (Group 2) had a Mydriasert insert (Théa Pharma) (...
