After the chamber is filled with viscoelastic six to eight equally spaced mini-sphincterotomies are performed. The incisions are made mm into the pupillary sphincter and then the pupil can be stretched using any of the above techniques. The small incisions will allow the sphincter to remain functional and reduce the tears in these small pupils Fig. . Summary for the Clinician By performing these multiple small incisions the sphincter remains useful and the tears are decreased. Six to eight equally spaced mini-sphincterotomies are performed after the chamber is filled.

These medications are alpha 1 blockers and they improve the urinary outflow by relaxing the smooth muscle in the bladder neck and the bladder.
