Aphakia korrekciója irisklip műlencse retropupillaris beültetésével

Abstract

Abstract: Introduction and aim: The correction of aphakia might be a challenge for the surgeon. The aim of this study is to describe the authors’ experience with the implantation of the retropupillary iris clip intraocular lens. Method: Patients between January 2014 and December 2015 were included in the retrospective study. Retropupillary implantation of iris clip intraocular lens VRSA 54 (AMO Advanced Medical Optics, USA) was performed in all cases. The minimum follow up period was three months. The stability of the intraocular lens and the intraoperative and postoperative complications and the visual acuity were evaluated. Results: During this time period 11 cases (1 female, 10 males) were included in the study. The mean age at the time of the implantation was 57.7 years (between 25–74 years). In 4 cases the iris clip lens was implanted during the first intervention, in 7 cases during the secondary procedure. In all cases the lens was fixated onto the iris posteriorly. The best corrected visual acuity before the iris clip implantation was 0.43 (0.1–1.0) and postoperatively at the time of the follow up 0.49 (0.04–1.0). Conclusions: With the use of the retropupillary implanted iris clip intraocular lens all of the patients could have been rehabilitated without major complications. Orv. Hetil., 2017, 158(1), 20–24.
