Flexible nylon iris retractors are a useful adjunct to cataract surgery in cases of small pupil and subluxated lenses. A modification is presented of the standard application of iris hooks to retract the superior iris and support the inferior capsule during phacoemulsification in cases of iris coloboma with inferior zonular deficiency. Three iris hooks are applied to retract the iris, and 2 iris hooks are applied to the inferior capsule margin to support the crystalline lens in that quadrant. Clear corneal temporal phacoemulsification is then performed with adequate pupillary diameter and capsular support.
