2. Tadpole pupil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadpole_pupil

   The eye is made up of the sclera, the iris, and the pupil, a black hole located at the center of the eye with the main function of allowing light to pass to the retina. Due to certain muscle spasms in the eye, the pupil can resemble a tadpole , which consists of a circular body, no arms or legs, and a tail.

3. Manual small incision cataract surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_small_incision...

   Manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) is an evolution of extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE); the lens is removed from the eye through a self-sealing scleral tunnel wound. A well-constructed scleral tunnel is held closed by internal pressure, is watertight, and does not require suturing.

4. Cataract surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataract_surgery

   Cataract surgery, also called lens replacement surgery, is the removal of the natural lens of the eye that has developed a cataract, an opaque or cloudy area. [1] The eye's natural lens is usually replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) implant.

5. Posterior chamber of eyeball - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_chamber_of_eyeball

   Aqueous humor produced by the epithelium of the ciliary body is secreted into the posterior chamber, from which it flows through the pupil to enter the anterior chamber. [2] The hypermature cataractous lens [3] or, the intraocular lens [4] implanted after cataract surgery may obstruct the aqueous flow through the pupil. The block in flow of ...

6. Capsule of lens - Wikipedia

   Sheep eye lens capsule with ligaments attached. The capsule is lifting off the lens showing cell fiber ends beneath. Microscope image of lens capsule in relation to lens cell types. The lens capsule is a component of the globe of the eye. [1] It is a clear elastic basement membrane similar in composition to other basement membranes in the body.

7. Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraoperative_floppy_iris...

   Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) is a complication that may occur during cataract extraction in certain patients. This syndrome is characterized by a flaccid iris which billows in response to ordinary intraocular fluid currents, a propensity for this floppy iris to prolapse towards the area of cataract extraction during surgery, and progressive intraoperative pupil constriction ...
