Intraocular Position of Secondary Iris-Fixated IOLs in Aphakic Eyes
Intraocular Position of Secondary Iris-Fixated IOLs in Aphakic Eyes
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the intraocular stability and safety of secondary
 iris-fixated IOLs in aphakic patients.
18 eyes of 16 patients received secondary anteriorly iris-fixated intraocular lenses (IOLs)
 to correct for aphakia without capsular support, partly combined with anterior or complete
 pars plana vitrectomy. Primary outcome measurements included visual acuity (6m Snellen
 charts), central endothelium cell count (cECC) and postoperative intraocular position of the
 IOL assessed with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Patients with aphakia due to complicated cataract surgery, weakness in lens support
 (capsula, zonulae) Marfans´s syndrome

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Aphakia due to preexisting corneal, retinal o uveal disease, low endothelial cell
 count
