Modified technique for sutured scleral fixated intraocular lens in a patient with post-traumatic aniridia and aphakia: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A modified surgical technique of sutured scleral fixated intraocular lens (SSF-IOL) was applied in a patient with post-traumatic aniridia and aphakia.

Case presentation

A 51-year-old man was referred to our clinic with decreased vision (finger count) in his right eye. This patient had previously undergone primary repair of the ruptured globe and pars plana vitrectomy to manage ocular trauma in the same eye. On presentation, the best corrected visual acuity in his right eye was 20/40. The slit lamp examination of his right eye revealed loss of total iris and lens. Corneal endothelial cell density was 1462 cells/mm². Fundoscopic examination of the right eye revealed a retinal attachment. For IOL implantation, a rigid poly methyl methacrylate IOL was used
