Aim: To evaluate the effect of intracameral lidocaine anesthesia (ILA) and subconjunctival (SLA) administered during cataract surgery on development prevalence intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS). 
 Material Method: The study involved medical records 86 patients having no risk factors other than small pupil size for IFIS whom ILA and/or SLA were applied phacoemulsification surgery. ...

During cataract surgery the clouded lens is broken up by phacoemulsification. The iris can become highly mobile and could be entrained phacoemulsification probe, under a condition known as intraoperative floppy syndrome (IFIS). In this study we explore mechanism of IFIS during phacoemulsification-based using fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations. As first its kind, developed simplified ...

PURPOSE To study iris-related complications during cataract surgery in patients on tamsulosin medication. METHODS Twenty-one consecutive cataract patients administered tamsulosin and 21 control patients were studied. Characteristics of the iris during surgery were recorded. Pupillary diameters of 16 patients were measured before and after iris dilatation. Tamsulosin concentrations in the aque...
