Iris-claw, retropupillary-fixated, aphakic intraocular lens implantation for traumatic aphakia following penetrating keratoplasty.
نویسنده
چکیده
We report the correction of aphakia using an iris-claw, aphakic intraocular lens (IOL) fixated in a retropupillary location in a 17-year-old young man who suffered blunt trauma to his eye 5 months after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). There were no intraoperative complications. At 21 months after implantation, the patient's uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20/28; his corrected distance visual acuity was 20/22, with +0.50 -3.00 × 155. Intraocular pressure was normal, and endothelial cell count was 1798 cells/mm(2).

Long-term follow-up of retropupillary iris-claw intraocular lens implantation: a retrospective analysis
BACKGROUND The ideal intraocular lens in cases of aphakia without capsular support is debated. Choices include anterior chamber lenses, iris- or scleral-sutured lenses, and iris-claw lenses. Our aim was to report our long-term evaluation of the use of retropupillary implantation of the Artisan iris-claw intraocular lens (RPICIOL) in several aphakic conditions without capsular support. METHODS...

متن کاملRetropupilar positioning of foldable iris-claw intraocular lens for correction of aphakia with no capsular support
SUMMARY Iris-claw intraocular lens (ICIOL) for aphakia needs a large 5.4 mm corneal incision for its implantation. The technique needs corneal suture, associated with some postoperative astigmatism. Foldable ICIOL is used in phakic patients undergoing refractive surgery and has the advantage of a sutureless small corneal incision. We report a case of a high myopic patient with dislocated intrao...

متن کاملNew forceps and spatula for easy retropupillary implantation of iris claw lenses in aphakia: experience in 4 years of use.
PURPOSE Retropupillary implantation of an iris claw lens offers a rapid and atraumatic approach for rehabilitation of aphakic eyes. The difficulty in the implantation process arises because of the possibility of losing the intraocular lens (IOL) into the vitreous cavity and the need to change the hand holding the forceps during the enclavation. METHODS The new forceps design radically changes...
