Abstract
Objective To discuss the surgical techniques and attention points in phacoemulsification through a small pupil.Methods Fifty-two eyes of 46 patients accepted phacoemulsification by using non-cut pupil dilation stop and chop techniques.Results Cataract was emulsified in 47 of the 52 eyes and the pupil size recovered to normal(2 to 3mm) after surgery.In another 5 eyes,the traction and expansion was performed after separation of synechia and excision of the organized membranes,and pupils almost returned to round shape.The visual acuity 1 month after operation was≥0.5 in 38 eyes(73%).Conclusion After phacoemulsification through a small pupil by non-cut pupildilation method the pupil can recover to normal and the visual acuity can be better recovered.
