We assessed the outcomes of the use of anterior chamber foldable lens for unilateral aphakia correction at the University Teaching Hospital of Yaounde. In this retrospective, non-comparative, consecutive case series study, we reviewed the records of patients who underwent an operation for aphakia correction by the means of injection of an angular supported foldable lens between January 2009 and...

PURPOSE To evaluate efficacy, predictability and safety of Artisan-Verysise intraocular lens (IOL) secondary implantation for aphakia correction. SETTING Instituto de Microcirugía Ocular, and Autonoma University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain. METHODS Uncorrected visual acuity, best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), manifest refraction, endothelial cell count, and clinical complica...

BACKGROUND Several techniques for fixation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) have been developed. We evaluate long-term functional outcomes and safety of posterior chamber IOL implantation using Hoffman scleral haptic fixation and sutureless Sharioth technique in patients with posttraumatic and postoperative aphakia. METHODS This retrospective case-series included 42 eyes operat...

During November 1985 a survey was carried out to determine the prevalence and causes of blindness in the Elim Hospital district of Gazankulu in the Northern Transvaal, South Africa, and to assess the Eye Department's effectiveness in preventing blindness. Using a random cluster sample technique, we screened 18,962 of the estimated 71,200 inhabitants of the district (26.6%). We found 109 blind p...

OBJECTIVE We retrospectively analyzed the visual results and postoperative complications associated with severely traumatized eyes in which aphakia was corrected with epikeratophakia or a sutured iris prosthesis/intraocular lens (IOL). METHODS Fourteen eyes (14 patients) with traumatic aphakia and severe anterior segment complications were corrected either with epikeratophakia or a sutured ir...

PURPOSE To evaluate visual results, comfort of use, safety, and efficacy of mini scleral contact lenses in optical management in patients with traumatic aphakia and severe concomitant irido-corneal injury. METHODS In a case series, eight eyes with post traumatic aphakia and severe concomitant irido-corneal injury that were evaluated at the Contact Lens Clinic of Farabi Eye Hospital, Tehran, I...
