    This study introduces a new surgical technique using a polypropylene suture before an inferior radial iridotomy to manage small pupils during cataract surgery. The method ensures better pupil alignment and accommodates nucleus emulsification, maintaining postoperative appearance and function.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Cataract Surgery

    Background:

    • Poorly dilating pupils pose challenges during cataract surgery.
    • Standard surgical methods may compromise pupillary function and aesthetics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel surgical method for managing intraoperative miosis.
    • To improve pupillary management during phacoemulsification.

    Main Methods:

    • A polypropylene suture is preplaced through the inferior iris sphincter.
    • An inferior radial iridotomy is performed after suture placement.
    • This is followed by nucleus fracture endolenticular phacoemulsification.

    Main Results:

    • The technique ensures proper alignment of incised iris pillars.

  • The enlarged pupil facilitates in-the-bag nucleus emulsification.
  • Maintained pupillary appearance and function postoperatively.

    • Conclusions:

    • This surgical approach effectively manages poorly dilating pupils.
    • The method preserves both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the pupil.
