The small pupil concerns the cataract surgeon. Where to perform the tunnel, the capsulorhexis, and the parameters of phaco? Which viscoelastic to choose? Many doubts, many questions. Experience and proper professional training will greatly help in such surgical conditions. And Professor Ahmed Assaf, with his video contributions, does not disappoint. The numerous surgical examples shown have given the guest surgeon the opportunity to ‘see’ and even more so understand which maneuvers are most suitable in various situations of small pupil. These maneuvers must aim to increase the safety coefficient in these complex cases, without producing significant anatomical and, even more so, functional changes to the important pupillary structure.
