Abstract
Patients should have been evaluated and deemed appropriate for such surgical intervention. Surgical indications for cataracts include those that impair visual acuity, create visual disability, affect activities of daily living, or deemed medically necessary for monitoring or further surgical procedures. Additionally, intraoperative floppy iris syndrome can occur in any individual with a current or past history of alpha-1 antagonist use. All patients should be screened regarding past and current medication use, as well as all medical conditions. Patients should have been educated about the risks and benefits of the procedure, including alternatives.
