Complete IFIS Case with Iris Prolapse
In this tamsulosin induced IFIS case, Robert Osher, MD, uses a micro-coaxial approach through a 2.2mm incision under a Lumera microscope. To stabilize the iris, Dr. Osher utilizes Healon 5 and the slow-motion phaco technique with torsional ultrasound at low parameters.

Sorry !, Can withdrawal of Tamsulosin for a period of time preoperatively prevent IFIS ? If yes, for how long ?

It is not that difficult if you use Viscoat instead of Healon 5.
agree that in beginning, lumera scope was too good, allowing visualization of little strands of cortex that i ordinarily would have missed. i have to stop myself from going after those little strands- in some cases (pos. pressure, shallow ac etc.), better off not going after it.
