Abstract

Aim: To describe our results with HumanOptics IOL-ArtificialIris complex in post traumatic aphakia and aniridia. Methods: Retrospective, single-surgeon chart review of cases in which aniridia and aphakia were corrected using HumanOptics IOL-ArtificialIris complex sutured to the sclera with Gore-Tex® sutures and coupled with the Akreos® IOL (Bausch&Lomb). Results: The authors present four cases of ocular trauma with globe rupture. For every patient, posterior vitrectomy was done and an artificial iris-lens diaphragm was sutured to the sclera. All patients had a good functional and cosmetic outcome. Conclusions: Surgical implantation of the HumanOptics IOL-ArtificialIris complex coupled with the Akreos® IOL was successful in alleviating post-trauma aphakia and aniridia related visual impairment.
