Abstract
Design-Retrospective study.
Purpose-To report outcome and complications of retro pupillary fixated iris-claw intraocular lenses in a pediatric population.
Method-23 pediatric patients (34eyes) who underwent retro pupillary iris claw lens implantation between July2012 to Sept2018 at Private eye hospital by single surgeon.
Post-operative visual acuity and complications were analyzed.
Result-
Best-corrected median visual acuity values were increased from less than 6/60 to 6/36 On
Snellen’s chart [vision was checked with age specific methods]. In which, 40% eyes have
improved visual acuity up to 6/24 or better. 70% have visual acuity 6/36 and better.
Most common complication observed were hyphema, corneal oedema and anterior chamber
reaction.
Conclusion-
Our study demonstrates that iris-claw intraocular lens implantation behind the iris is safe and
easy technique in children with ectopia lentis and children with lack of capsular support with
good visual outcome and low complication rate.
