Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS)--characterized by iris blowing, prolapse, and progressive miosis during phacoemulsification surgery--poses significant challenges for eye surgeons. Despite being described almost 2 decades ago, its pathophysiology remains unclear. Initially, IFIS was thought to be a result of sympathetic signal blockage in the iris dilator muscle, since α-blockers such as tamsulosin were found to be a strong predisposing factor; however, many IFIS cases occur even in patients who discontinued α-blockers prior to cataract surgery. Several potential mechanisms through which α-blockers induces chronic changes in the iris - iris dilator atrophy, drug-melanin interaction, and loss of vascular tone - have been proposed as possible mechanisms. We address the prevailing theories on α-receptor-dependent mechanisms for IFIS and the current prophylactic measures undertaken to prevent IFIS-associated intraocular complications.
术中虹膜松弛综合征(IFIS)——其特征为在白内障超声乳化手术过程中出现虹膜膨隆、脱垂及渐进性瞳孔缩小——给眼科医生带来了重大挑战。尽管早在近20年前就已被描述,但它的病理生理学仍不清楚。最初,IFIS被认为是虹膜开大肌交感神经信号阻断的结果,因为发现坦索罗辛等α受体阻滞剂是一个很强的诱发因素;然而,许多IFIS病例甚至发生在白内障手术前已停用α受体阻滞剂的患者身上。已经提出了几种α受体阻滞剂诱导虹膜慢性变化的潜在机制——虹膜开大肌萎缩、药物 - 黑色素相互作用以及血管张力丧失——作为可能的机制。我们阐述了关于IFIS的α受体依赖性机制的主流理论以及目前为预防与IFIS相关的眼内并发症所采取的预防措施。
