Summary: Aim: To present phacoemulsification technique in eyes with narrow pupil and posterior synechiae.
Patients and methods: 46 patients with narrow pupil and posterior synechiae due to chronic uveitis or myotics chronic use underwent surgical release of posterior synechiae, peripupillar membrane and phacoemulsification with intracapsular lens implantation. Operations were performed between 2002 and July 2004.
Rsults: No surgical complications were observed in 45 eyes. There were small sphincter’s ruptures in 4 eyes, small iatrogenic lacks of iris stroma at 6 o’clock position in 4 eyes and transient intraoperative iris haemorrhages in 22 eyes.
Conclusions: Cataract removal with phacoemulsification is feasible in eyes with narrow pupil without iris retractors.
Surgical removal of the peripupillar membrane allows pupil dilatation and surgical procedure performance.
 
Key words: cataract, phacoemulsification, narrow pupil, synechiae, iris retractors.
