Abstract

Iris and lens injuries entail a large spectrum and occur in closed and open globe injuries. Depending on accompanying ocular trauma (e.g. corneal involvement) as well as on the extend of the injuries several different surgical options are available ranging from suturing techniques to special individualized implants. The aim of this article is to present and discuss current treatment options for lens and iris trauma in regards to typical cases.
