In this presentation, Dr. Bryan Lee shares his top 5 surgical pearls for intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) and iris prolapse. He discusses the following:
- planning ahead: IFIS association with an increased risk of complications, particularly when unexpected
- using a ring (tight fissure; radial keratotomy or keratoconus; pterygium; bleb) versus hooks (provide more tension; helpful for seeing toric marks; reusable)
- dealing with mild prolapse: "tap it in"
- dealing with significant prolapse: "sweep the iris"
- handling difficult scenarios
