Surgeon recommends intracameral dilation over eye drop dilation in cataract surgery
WAIKOLOA, Hawaii — A speaker here encouraged his colleagues to use intracameral dilation over eye drops for pupil dilation prior to cataract surgery. “We do want our patients’ pupils dilated for surgery,” Ian P. Conner, MD, PhD, said in a presentation here at Hawaiian Eye. “We do want stable, predictable pupillary dilation for anterior segment surgery, but yet our patients often feel overwhelmed by the flurry of activities occurring preoperatively.”
