Use of the Ophtec Artificial Iris Model C1 in Patients with Aniridia/Aphakia

Abstract

In the present cases, the use of the Ophtec Arificial Iris model C1 is described in patients with traumatic or postoperative aniridia/aphakia. In one of the patients, it was combined with perforating keratoplasty because of corneal scarring. In both of the presented cases, improvement in visual acuity and a satisfactory aesthetic result without any serious complications can be shown. However, the short follow-up time must be emphasised.

Key words

aniridia - aphakia - prosthetic iris implants - perforating keratoplasty
