Introduction: Prevention of intraoperative miosis in hybrid (femtosecond laser-assisted) phacoemulsification is a relevant problem of cataract surgery.
Purpose: Development and clinical study of an effective method for preventing intraoperative miosis in hybrid (femtosecond laser-assisted) phacoemulsification.
Material And Methods: Hybrid phacoemulsification was performed in 300 patients (300 eyes). The first group (100 eyes) 3 days prior to the surgery was prescribed instillations of 0.1% indomethacin 3 times a day and 3 times in 2 hours before surgery at 30 minute intervals. The second group (100 eyes) 3 days prior to the surgery was prescribed instillations of 0.1% indomethacin 3 times a day, 3 times in 2 hours before the surgery at 30 minute intervals, and 1 hour before the surgery an additional intramuscular injection of diclofenac. The third group (control, 100 eyes) 2 hours before the operation was prescribed instillations of 0.1% indomethacin, 3 times at 30 minute intervals. The diameter of the pupil was evaluated before the beginning of femtosecond laser stage and before the opening of anterior chamber during the second stage of the operation.
Results: When the interval between the femtosecond laser stage and emulsification of the nucleus fragments was maintained at less than 15 minutes, pronounced decrease of the pupil (more than 2 mm) was noted in 8.2% of cases in the first group, 6.7% in the second group and 14.1% in third (control) group; mean values of pupil narrowing were 0.68±0.27 mm in the 1st group, 0.63±0.25 mm in the 2nd group, and 0.93±0.39 mm (p<0.05) in the third group.
Conclusion: The clinical study showed high efficiency of the proposed methods for prevention of intraoperative miosis in hybrid (femtosecond laser-assisted) phaco surgery. An important factor affecting intraoperative narrowing of the pupil is the time interval between the femtolaser stage of the operation and emulsification of the nucleus fragments, which should not exceed 15 minutes.

Purpose: Intracameral mydriatic agents (ICMAs) are replacing the conventional method of topical mydriasis for its fast action and no need for repeated instillation before cataract surgery. Its application for the management of intraoperative miosis needs to be studied with different doses of mydriatic agent. The objective of the study is to study cardiovascular effects of diluted intracameral combination of 0.

We describe and assess the efficiency of a novel technique of placing implantable collamer lens (ICL) footplates in the sulcus in poorly dilated pupils utilizing perioptic holes and two instruments simultaneously (Sinskey hook and ICL manipulator). Twelve eyes of 10 patients underwent ICL implantation through this technique. The technique employs a bimanual approach engaging perioptic holes in the eyes with intraoperative miosis.

Introduction: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly employed perioperatively to reduce intraoperative prostaglandin release, diminishing pain, preventing miosis, modulating postoperative inflammation, and reducing the incidence of cystoid macular edema (CME).
Case Report: A 70-year-old female patient without previous history of ocular or systemic disease was urgently referred to our hospital because of a sudden corneal perforation concerning her left eye (OS). The patient had instilled bromfenac eye drops and antiseptic eye drops twice and four times daily, respectively, for 2 days only, in preparation of scheduled cataract surgery.

Diclofenac instillation is useful in preventing intraoperative miosis and macular edema caused by postoperative inflammation in cataract surgery; however, optimum efficacy is not attained when the instilled diclofenac strongly binds to albumin in patients' aqueous humor. Therefore, a method that inhibits diclofenac binding and increases the concentration of its free fraction is needed. We conducted a basic study regarding the effects of inhibitors on the binding of instilled diclofenac to albumin and endogenous substances in aqueous humor.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of the illuminated chopper-assisted cataract surgery in terms of shortening the surgical time in eyes with miosis after femtosecond laser pretreatment.
Methods: As retrospective study, three hundred thirty-six eyes of 336 consecutive patients who underwent the femtosecond laser and illuminated chopper-assisted cataract surgery were included. Cases with pupil less than 6 mm after femtosecond laser pretreatment were included in the miosis group.
