Combined transscleral fixation of an artificial iris prosthesis with an intraocular lens

Abstract: 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 a patient who underwent transscleral fixation of a custom-tailored artificial iris prosthesis combined with a rigid in… Show more

“…In other words, we sized the device relative to the shorter of the intraoperative meridians and gained better aesthetic results, which encouraged us to resize the Artificial Iris in the places with remnants with circular borders. This exclusive handmade device is friendly to surgeons’ hands, and it facilitates various surgical methods; the Artificial Iris can be suture fixated [ 10 , 20 ] if necessary, sutured side-to-side to the remaining iris tissue, [ 27 ] sutureless, [ 14 ] or use knotless sutures. [ 28 ] In eyes with remaining capsules, the Artificial Iris can be placed using the Rosenthal method in the sulcus or with a capsular tension ring (CTR) [ 26 ] and staining (Trypan blue or indocyanine green in cases of congenital aniridia with a fragile capsule) [ 29 , 30 ] in the bag.…”
