Purpose: To describe a technique that allows performing femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery with the LenSx laser (Alcon) in patients with poor or non dilating small pupils.
Methods: Case report describing new surgical technique.
Results: The primary and secondary incisions were made manually and the anterior chamber was filled with ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD). The Malyugin pupil expansion device (Microsurgical Technology) was inserted through the main port incision via the injector. The OVD was removed and all incisions were hydrated. Laser capsulorhexis and lens fragmentation was performed after docking. Subsequent phacoemulsification, intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and the Malyugin ring removal was performed in the usual fashion.
Conclusions: Use of the Malyugin ring is.. View More»
