Summary
I describe a new irrigating iris retractor for cataract surgery in small pupils. The retractor, a modified irrigating handpiece has a smooth button-like iris hook in the front. The hook is inserted into the margin of a small pupil and retract the pupil peripherally to allow visualisation of cortical remnant in the equatorial area of the lens capsule. The capsule can then be safely cleaned using the aspirating handpiece in the surgeon’s other hand.
Key words:
retractor, cataract surgery, small pupils
