Intra operative complications encountered were zonulardialysis (2 eyes), posterior capsular tear (1 eye), iris trauma (2 eyes). Post operative complications were corneal odema (12 eyes), anterior chamber reaction (6 eyes), irregular pupil (6 eyes), 80% patients had BCVA >6/18. Conclusion: Surgeons should be aware of the potential complications during cataract surgery in poorly dilating eyes. Caution should be taken at each stage to prevent complication.
