A simple pars plana technique for iris enclavation of Artisan-Ophtec aphakic intraocular lenses

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The Artisan-Ophtec aphakic iris-enclaved anterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) has been used to advantage in children and adults who lack capsular support for implantation of a standard posterior chamber IOL. However, even the most skilled anterior segment surgeon may encounter difficulties enclaving the IOL to the iris using the enclavation needle. We describe a simple, secure, rapid alternative method for enclaving the IOL that requires only two eye incisions: one at the corneal limbus and the other through the pars plana.
