We appreciate the comments that we received on our last review entitled “New insights into cataract surgery in patients with uveitis.”[1] Dr. Gandhi raised an important point in his reply highlighting the importance of looking toward those patients in a very critical manner. In our review, we emphasized on the importance of controlling inflammation before any intraocular intervention. We totally agree on the importance of having the appropriate surgical instruments in the operating theater to overcome any challenges. Although it is interesting maneuver to dissect posterior synechiae by performing a peripheral iridotomy (PI), this technique may be associated with intraoperative hyphema and postoperative glare/diplopia. However, we use a similar approach when the patient already had PI.
