Traumatic aniridia and aphakia after Artisan intraocular lens implantation

Sung Jin Lee. J Cataract Refract Surg. 2007 Jul.

Abstract

Traumatic aniridia and aphakia occurred in the left eye of a 22-year-old man who had had Artisan (Ophtec) phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Aniridia was probably the result of the relatively large wound used to implant the nonfoldable IOL. Although the eye had severe traumatic damage, vision was recoverable through a 2-stage procedure of vitrectomy and subsequent scleral suture fixation of an iris-diaphragm IOL.
