“…Moreover, the three-point Z-suture fixation technique offers the advantages of a knotless approach. Although difficulties with centration of other types of iris prosthesis have been described in the literature, the artificial iris complex remained well centered in all eyes in our series [8]. Thus, the three-point fixation allows a wellcentered artificial iris-IOL complex and seems to be sufficient.…”

“…Aside from esthetic aspects, partial or total loss of iris tissue may also be related to various degrees of glare, photophobia, and visual impairment. In patients with major iris defects, an artificial iris prosthesis provides satisfactory anterior segment reconstruction with a remarkable functional outcome (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) . Various implants have been developed for the treatment of aphakia with aniridia.…”

“…Some authors reported on effective and safe surgical intervention with Morcher black-diaphragm IOL (Morcher 67F BDI, Morcher GmBH, Stuttgart, Germany) for the treatment of both total or partial aniridia in aphakic cases (6,7) . The Ophtec iris reconstruction lens with the color options of brown, blue, and green (Ophtec USA, Boca Raton, FL, USA) has also been reported to provide better cosmetic outcomes as well as remarkable visual improvement (8,9) . In cases with partial iris defects, intraocular implantation of the Artisan iris reconstruction implant (Ophtec, Groningen, The Netherlands) may be chosen for cosmetic and functional improvement.…”

Post-traumatic aniridia combined with aphakia may be seen after globe injury. Aside from esthetic aspects, partial or total loss of the iris tissue may also be related to various degrees of glare and photophobia. Such patients suffer from severe visual impairment secondary to aphakia. Herein we describe a novel surgical technique for the management of an aphakic eye with traumatic aniridia for a patient who underwent transscleral fixation of a custom-tailored artificial iris prosthesis combined with a rigid intraocular lens (IOL). Tight suturing of the IOL haptic eyelets on the silicone iris prosthesis and fixation of such a complex to the scleral wall may provide excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes in aphakic eyes with aniridia.

“…Iris implants have been available since 1991 and many studies have shown their efficacy to resolve the visual symptoms associated with iris defects [1][2][3][4][5][6]. However, most implant models have substantial limitations; in particular most require large incisions for implantation and do not restore the original appearance of the iris.…”

We report the case of a high myopic patient who had been implanted with angle-supported phakic intraocular lenses (pIOL) in 1990 and who subsequently and gradually developed complications in both eyes including endothelial cell loss, chronic glaucoma, cataract, pupil ovalization and severe iris atrophy. The patient was impaired by photophobia, glare, halo, loss in visual acuity and concerned about the cosmetically deforming aspect of her eyes. Cataract surgery was performed after explantation of the pIOL followed by combined implantation of a standard IOL in the capsular bag and a Dr. Schmidt artificial iris in the sulcus. There were no intraoperative and postoperative complications except slight bilateral corneal oedema which resolved completely within 1 month after surgery. Uncorrected and corrected visual acuity improved progressively to reach 0.3 and 0.6 at the last follow-up visit (±1 year), respectively. The patient was very satisfied with the functional and aesthetical outcomes.
