“…The vertical placement of an aphakic Artisan (Ophtec) IOL in the anterior chamber of a patient who had a perforating injury in vivo 30: 733-738 (2016) to the cornea led to a BCVA of 0.9 3 months later without complications. Traumatic aniridia was the cause for the vertical location of the lens (29). However, the visual acuity was higher in group 1.…”

Abstract. Senile The crystalline lens is a transparent biconvex structure, participating in the refractive system of the eye. Any metabolic disturbance in the lens result in localized or diffuse opacification, called a cataract (1). Senile cataract is the leading cause of severe vision loss and blindness worldwide, affecting approximately 20 million people (2-6). The visual rehabilitation required after cataract surgery is usually treated with aphakic glasses, contact lenses, and intraocular lenses (IOLs), which can be placed in the anterior or posterior chamber (7). The use of anterior chamber IOLs (AC IOLs) for the correction of aphakia was first reported in the 1960s (8, 9). However, this method was abandoned for about 20 years due to the high incidence of complications and the progression of cataract surgery (10). In 1996, AC IOLs were implanted in 1.09% of patients who underwent cataract extractions; this percentage had increased to 43% by 2000 (11). Since the development of AC IOLs, their design has been frequently modified, ultimately changing from a biconcave form to a convex-concave one (12, 13). The latter is designed to protect the corneal endothelium, which is usually vulnerable to lensinduced damage. The indications for the use of AC IOLs include extracapsular cataract extraction with intraoperative complications, intracapsular cataract extraction, secondary implantation and penetrating keratoplasty (11).To our knowledge, this is the first article focusing on aphakic AC IOLs, and reviewing their visual outcome and complications.
