VIDEO: Small pupil issues in femtosecond laser cataract surgery
ISTANBUL – At the ESCRS Winter Meeting, Boris Malyugin, MD, PhD, talks about small pupil issues in femtosecond laser cataract surgery. Laser shots applied to the capsule and nucleus generate prostaglandins in the aqueous humor, leading to pupil contraction. While in most cases this complication can be avoided with a proper medication protocol, 12-30% of patients might be refractory to treatment and require application of mechanical expansion devices.
