A 34-year-old patient, with severe factor VIII deficiency (anti-hemophilic factor deficiency) and inhibitor against factor VIII, underwent a phacoemulsification with posterior capsulatomy and thermal iridectomy under general anesthesia. FEIBA (Factor Eight Inhibitor Bypassing Activity) was used to achieve hemostasis. The surgical procedure was successful and no complication was ensued. A brief management of hemophilia A patient requiring surgery is discussed.
