“…Phacoemulsification is then performed and the ring is removed after intraocular lens implantation [40]. The Malyugin ring has also been found to be a useful intraoperative tool to assist the surgeon in cases of cataract surgery in the presence of iridoschisis and both anterior and posterior synechiae, to avoid intraoperative positive vitreous pressure during triple procedures, to manage small pupil in the setting of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), and pediatric cataract surgery [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] (video: https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LisTIDv2OA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K0fsuZWktA).…”

Purpose of reviewCataract surgery in the setting of small pupil represent a major challenge and it is associated with a higher risk of complications. When pharmacologic pupil dilation fails, mechanical pupil expansion devices are needed to obtain and maintain sufficient intraoperative mydriasis. The purpose of this review is to assess the pupil expansion devices currently available.Recent findingsA variety of pupil expansion devices are offered on the market. They differ for design, material, shape, size, cost, and easiness of insertion/removal, nonetheless they all seem to be effective in improving the pupil size and easing the cataract surgery.SummaryMechanical pupil expansion can be effectively achieved with a variety of devices, which are well tolerated and can facilitate cataract surgery in the setting of poor mydriasis.
