Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how chronic treatment with tamsulosin, used for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), impacts the eye during cataract surgery, particularly focusing on Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS).
- It involved 100 male patients, with 24 using BPH medication, revealing that mydriasis management was necessary in many cases, and some complications arose during surgery, like iris damage.
- The findings suggest that stopping tamsulosin shortly before surgery may not prevent IFIS, indicating that patients who may develop cataracts should consult an ophthalmologist early on.
