Abstract
Traumatic aniridia from combat ocular trauma can cause visual disability. A 41-year-old male Army Veteran was referred for evaluation of light sensitivity and glare secondary to subtotal traumatic aniridia of his left eye from an improvised explosive device blast. A custom-made artificial iris prosthesis was implanted in the ciliary sulcus and secured using Gore-Tex sutures. After surgery, the patient reported improvement of his light sensitivity and quality of life. The custom iris prosthesis is a surgical option for visual disability resulting from traumatic aniridia from combat ocular trauma.
