Disease/Condition Glossary

Pupil constriction: Narrowing or constriction of the pupil of the eye during any eye surgery can make every step of the surgical procedure difficult. It may also lead to increased injury risk and reduce visualization during cataract removal and lens implantation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit prostaglandins and maintain intraoperative pupil dilation, thus making it easier to perform eye surgery.
