Abstract
To study artificial iris intraocular lens (IOL) or ring specially designed for correction of aniridia or iris deficiencies associated with cataract or aphakia. Nine patients with partial or total aniridia underwent the surgical procedure. A black (Morcher 67F) or brown (Ophtec 311) diaphragm intraocular lens was used for the seven patients with aphakia. Morcher 50C rings were used for the patients with cataract. The esthetic results were satisfactory. Photophobia was reduced in all cases. Postoperative complications included one case of transient hypertony and one case of retinal detachment. We recommend the use of artificial iris IOL or rings in aniridia associated with cataract or aphakia.
