The Pupillary Lens (Iris Clip Lens)

Note on fixation of the Binkhorst iris clip lens.

Author’s address: Dr. J. G. F. Worst, de Sav. Lohmanlaan 62, Groningen (The Netherlands) Binkhorst’s iris clip lens is fixed in the pupil by the contracting sphincter muscle. To obtain a permanent fixation the iris borders must remain in contact with the vertical pillars of the retroirideal loops of the clip lens. The patient with ‘artificial pseudo-phakia’ must therefore be kept on pilocarpine...

Calculation of the power of an iris clip lens for distant vision.

Long-term results of the Binkhorst iris clip lens in senile cataract.

The purpose of this paper is to consider the long-term results of the iris clip lens in senile aphakia. It is not intended to discuss the many different forms of intraocular lens implants. Ophthalmic surgeons are well aware of the discouraging shortand long-term failure rate when contact lenses are used to correct aphakia, and this has stimulated renewed interest in intraocular lens implants in...

Use of a Microvascular Clip for Iris Fixation of an Intraocular Lens

H ere we present a potential novel surgical technique consisting of fixation of a posteriorchamber intraocular lens to the iris that may be used in the treatment of aphakia or the management of intraocular lens complications when capsular support has been compromised. The technique was performed in a laboratory model using cadaveric human eyes. A commercially available neurovascular clip was us...

Outcomes of Sutureless Iris-Claw Lens Implantation

Purpose. To evaluate the indications, refraction, and visual and safety outcomes of iris-claw intraocular lens implanted retropupillary with sutureless technique during primary or secondary operation. Methods. Retrospective study of case series. The Haigis formula was used to calculate intraocular lens power. In all cases the wound was closed without suturing. Results. The study comprised 47 ey...
