Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the usefulness of the Malyugin ring in poor pupil dilation during phacoemulsification assisted with femtosecond laser with 23 gauge pars plana vitrectomy. METHOD: A 57-year-old female with cataract and vitreous hemorrhage, and poor pupil dilation (5.5mm). The phacoemulsification assisted with femtosecond laser, using Malyugin ring after capsulorrhexis, followed by pars plana vitrectomy, and removing at the end without complications. RESULTS: A successfull intraoperative pupil dilation was achieved without complications, with a final BCVA of 20/40. CONCLUSIONS: The Malyugin ring is an effective alternative in cases with poor pupil dilation in femtophacovitrectomy, preserving the anatomical and functional integrity.
