Vertical placement of aphakic Artisan intraocular lens in a patient with traumatic localized aniridia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a 50-year-old patient who had secondary implantation of an aphakic Artisan (Ophtec) intraocular lens (IOL) that was placed vertically in the anterior chamber. The patient had had a perforating injury to the cornea that required corneal wound repair, lensectomy, and anterior vitrectomy. Because of the localized traumatic aniridia, the Artisan IOL could not be placed horizontally. Three months after surgery, the best corrected visual acuity was 0.9 and there were no complications.

Traumatic aniridia and aphakia after Artisan intraocular lens implantation.
Traumatic aniridia and aphakia occurred in the left eye of a 22-year-old man who had had Artisan (Ophtec) phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Aniridia was probably the result of the relatively large wound used to implant the nonfoldable IOL. Although the eye had severe traumatic damage, vision was recoverable through a 2-stage procedure of vitrectomy and subsequent scleral suture fixati...

متن کاملCombined transscleral fixation of an artificial iris prosthesis with an intraocular lens.
Post-traumatic aniridia combined with aphakia may be seen after globe injury. Aside from esthetic aspects, partial or total loss of the iris tissue may also be related to various degrees of glare and photophobia. Such patients suffer from severe visual impairment secondary to aphakia. Herein we describe a novel surgical technique for the management of an aphakic eye with traumatic aniridia for ...
