Cataract surgery can alter pupil motility, even in normal-appearing pupils. This pupillary function change, potentially due to iris manipulation, impacts visual quality and may affect the non-operated eye.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Pupillary Dynamics

Background:

  • Cataract surgery aims for optimal outcomes, including a round, functional pupil.
  • Postoperative assessment of pupils appearing normal via slit-lamp examination is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the influence of cataract surgery on pupillary motility.
  • To evaluate changes in pupils that appear normal postoperatively.

Main Methods:

  • Videopupillography was used to assess pupillary function.
  • The study included 47 first eyes and 12 second eyes undergoing phacoemulsification without complications.

Main Results:

  • First eyes exhibited significantly constricted pupils post-surgery compared to non-operated eyes.

  • Second eyes showed pupillary constriction only under low-light conditions after surgery.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cataract operations can alter the motility of morphologically normal pupils.
    • Mechanical iris manipulation during surgery may affect the pupillary dilator muscle, causing functional changes.
    • The observed changes in pupillary motility are important for evaluating surgical quality.
