[Exchange of aniridia IOLs for customized iris IOL implants].

ABSTRACT:

Background

Three groups of iris prostheses can be distinguished for the surgical treatment of iris defects: (1) segmental iris implants, (2) combined iris diaphragm intraocular lenses (IOL) and (3) pure iris implants. Most iris reconstructions are accompanied by aphakia correction with secondary IOL implantation. Although the primary goal is to create a pupil and to improve glare perception, contrast sensitivity and visual acuity, the esthetic result is also a relevant component.

Objective

Functional and esthetic results after replacement of an aniridia IOL implant with a custom-made artificial iris with IOL.

Material and methods

In this retrospective study with seven eyes from seven patients, an iris diaphragm IOL (Morcher GmbH, Stuttgart, Germany) was exchanged for
