Transscleral sulcus fixation of a small-diameter iris-diaphragm intraocular lens in combined penetrating keratoplasty and cataract extraction for correction of traumatic cataract, aniridia, and corneal scarring.
Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery 2008 December
We present the case of a 36-year-old Hispanic man who presented with photophobia and hand motion acuity from a lacerated cornea. Primary repair had been performed 13 years earlier. In addition to a densely scarred cornea and a fibrotic, partially resorbed cataract, more than 300 degrees of iris loss was noted. The patient was treated with penetrating keratoplasty, cataract extraction, and implantation of a transsclerally fixated, small-diameter aniridic intraocular lens (IOL). Despite the significant iris loss, a small-diameter IOL was chosen over a standard larger aniridic IOL to allow safer, more controlled insertion through an 8.0 mm trephination. Following surgery, the visual acuity improved to 20/25 with no symptoms of glare or photophobia.
