Comparing the Efficiency of Two Approaches in Patients at Risk of Developing Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome

Intraoperative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS) is a potentially serious cataract surgery complication. IFIS is most commonly associated with the chronic use of tamsulosin and other alpha1-adrenergic receptor antagonists prescribed in low urinary tract symptoms. There are a number of guidelines for operative technique modifications with the aim to prevent the development of IFIS. The study focuses on two options for prophylactic strategies: the application of atropine drops and the instillation of intracameral epinephrine.
