Abstract
Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) occurring during cataract surgery in adults has been widely reported in association with tamsulosin and other α-1(a) adrenergic antagonists; however, only one case of pediatric IFIS has been previously reported and was associated with congenital cataract. We report a case of a 1-month old girl with IFIS associated with bilateral persistent pupillary membranes without cataracts and the use of preoperative topical phenylephrine and pilocarpine for IFIS prophylaxis.
