Management of Intraoperative Miosis during Pediatric Cataract Surgery using Healon 5.
PURPOSE
We describe a technique for achieving pupillary dilatation in order to manage and counteract intraoperative miosis during pediatric cataract surgery using viscoadaptive viscoelastic (sodium hyaluronate 2.3%).


MATERIALS AND METHODS
The technique of viscomydriasis was used in six eyes with pediatric cataracts with intraoperative pupillary miosis.


RESULTS
Pupillary dilatation was achieved and maintained in all eyes throughout cataract surgery. All the surgical steps including anterior and posterior capsulorrhexis and aspiration were performed successfully.


CONCLUSIONS
Viscomydriasis is a simple and effective technique for the management of intraoperative pupillary miosis during cataract surgery in pediatric eyes.
