IFIS (Intra-Operative Floppy Iris Syndrome) and Iris Prolapse – Management and Pressure Gradient Equalization Techniques (2018) Uday Devgan, MD

Description

This material discusses the diagnosis and treatment of Intra-Operative Floppy Iris Syndrome (IFIS), including pharmacologic (Atropine, Epinephrine), mechanical (iris hooks), and viscoelastic approaches. It also details the mechanism of iris prolapse due to pressure gradients during cataract surgery and outlines methods, such as utilizing viscoelastic agents (Healon 5) or releasing fluid, to equalize pressure and prevent or manage iris prolapse.
