Sažetak
The aim of the report is to describe phacoemulsification through a small pupil without enlarging it. The small, poorly dilated pupil is one of the most common problems the cataract surgeons are faced with. There are several options available when working on the eyes with a small pupil. One option is to enlarge the pupil, and the other is to work through it. We present the procedure of phacoemulsification through a small pupil without enlargement. The essence of this technique is to produce multiple small nuclear fragments that are easy to consume and do not cause excessive stress to the pupillary sphincter. Using this method, successful phacoemulsification was performed with minimal or no pupil widening maneuvers, restoring the preoperative pupil configuration.
