IFIS is a well recognised entity that complicates cataract surgery. In the cataract eye camps for the indigenous Xingu Indians that we have been carrying out in the Amazon area, we have noticed IFIS is more common and much more severe than is usually seen. This film looks at IFIS in the Xingu Indians, discusses the reasons and the “secrets” why they get such serious IFIS.
