Note on fixation of the Binkhorst iris clip lens.

چکیده
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 medication. Generally this is a simple and completely satisfactory solution for intraocular fixation of the iris clip lens.

متن کاملUse 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...
متن کاملLong-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...

To give the Binkhorst Medal Lecture is without a doubt one of the greatest honors that can be bestowed on an ophthalmologist. Cornelius D. Binkhorst, MD, for whom the lecture was named, was a giant in our specialty. Having tried the IOL designed by Sir Harold Ridley soon after its development, Binkhorst realized that its main shortcomings related to its weight and its ability to remain stable i...
متن کاملLens implants (pseudophakoi) classified according to method of fixation.
LENS implants may be classified according to the position of the optical part (posterior chamber lens, anterior chamber lens, pupillary lens), the material used (acrylic, silicate glass, quartz, one-piece lens, two-material lens), and the method of fixation (Binkhorst, 1962a, b). As fixation is obtained by contact of the haptic part of the pseudophakos with the ocular tissues, the subsequent st...
