Abstract
Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) is a complication due to
cataract surgery and has been linked to the use of systemic therapy with
alpha-1 blocker drugs, especially tamsulosin. The appearance of its
symptoms makes the cataract operation itself complicated in every step. The
aim of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy of Malyugin pupillary
dilator in dealing with IFIS symptoms. The study involved 40 untreated and
40 treated patients with Malyugin ring intraoperatively. In each patient the
following parameters were evaluated: pre- and postoperative best corrected
visual acuity (BCVA), intraoperative and postoperative pupillary diameter,
as well as intraoperative and postoperative complications Intraoperative and
postoperative complications were significantly more prevalent in the
untreated than in the treated group. This study suggests that Malyugin ring is
effective in dealing with IFIS symptoms in patients undergoing tamsulosin
therapy.
Key words: Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome, Malyugin ring, cataract,
tamsulosin.
