Modified SST–USST for tamsulosin-associated intraocular floppy-iris syndrome
I describe a technique using ophthalmic viscosurgical devices to perform cataract surgery in patients taking tamsulosin (Flomax). The 6-step method uses a combination variant of the soft-shell and ultimate soft-shell techniques and involves adjustments to flow parameters. It achieves satisfactory iris stability and permits uneventful surgery.
