The recent nationwide shortage of non-preserved epinepherine (used in the BSS bottle) has resulted in a rise in intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) and iris prolapse during cataract surgery. Intraoperative devices such as viscoelastics, iris hooks, and Malyugin rings can help to manage the iris during phacoemulsification; but when it comes time to close the eye, none of these devices can be used.
