In our study, in more than 50% of cases, the cause of small pupil was idiopathic/senile. Among nonidiopathic causes, PXF was the most common association. Although iris retractors are cost-effective and give maximum intraoperative dilatation, there is a need of four additional side ports to be made, thus increasing the total surgical time and device addition time. On the other hand, B-HEX and Gupta ring provide comparable intraoperative dilation and device addition time and also have comparable postoperative outcomes in terms of postoperative pupil size and complications.
