Abstract

We describe a pupilloplasty procedure to prevent a captive iris and to narrow the pupillary aperture and its associated complications. We also describe 5 surgical techniques in combination-vertical glued IOL, peripheral iridectomy, anterior sclerotomy, pupilloplasty, and application of a trocar anterior chamber maintainer-performed in eyes with a large WTW diameter; that is, the quintet in glued IOL.
