Summary

Evaluate and compare the advantages and disadvantages of iris suture fixation versus iris claw of posterior chamber IOLs

Conditions

  • Aphakic Eye

Interventions

PROCEDURE

IOL implantation surgery for aphkic eye

Aphakic eyes underwent secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation using one of two techniques. In Group A, an iris-claw IOL (Artisan aphakia IOL, Ophtec BV, The Netherlands) was implanted and fixated to the mid-peripheral iris via enclavation. In Group B, a posterior chamber foldable PMMA IOL was fixated to the iris using transscleral sutures passed through eyelets in the haptics. All procedures were performed under peribulbar anesthesia using standard aseptic technique, and postoperative management included topical antibiotics and corticosteroids.
