Coming soon**Perioperative mydriasis** refers to the intentional, sustained pharmacological dilation of the pupil throughout the preoperative, intraoperative, and early postoperative phases of ophthalmic surgery, most commonly cataract extraction or intraocular lens replacement.
Affecting the anterior segment of the eye, it involves the targeted modulation of autonomic iris tone—specifically stimulating the iris dilator smooth muscle and paralyzing the pupillary sphincter—to counteract surgically induced reflex miosis caused by anterior chamber manipulation and local prostaglandin release.
Maintaining adequate pupillary aperture during these procedures is clinically essential to optimize visualization of internal ocular structures, reduce surgical duration, and minimize the risk of mechanical tissue trauma or posterior capsule rupture.
