    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Microsurgery requires specialized instruments for precise manipulation.
    • Small pupil size presents a significant challenge during intraocular procedures, limiting surgical access and visualization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate the efficacy of the iris-lasso, a novel iris retractor.
    • To assess the usability and benefits of the iris-lasso in microsurgical settings, particularly for small pupils.

    Main Methods:

    • The iris-lasso, a stainless steel wire iris retractor, was utilized in microsurgical procedures.
    • The instrument's maneuverability and effectiveness were observed and assessed during surgery.

    Main Results:

    • The iris-lasso demonstrated successful application as an iris retractor.
    • The instrument proved to be simple to maneuver and suitable for microsurgery.
    • Significant utility was observed in patients with small pupils, enhancing surgical access.

    Conclusions:

    • The iris-lasso is a valuable new tool for ophthalmic microsurgery.
    • Its design facilitates ease of use and offers particular advantages for managing small pupils.
