Abstract

Retro Pupillary Iris-Claw IOL the Treatment for Traumatic IOL Capsular Bag Complex Dislocation

Cosmin Rosca*

A 57-year-old male patient operated 5 years before for cataract, arrives in our emergency service complaining of sudden decrease of the visual acuity of the left eye. Slit lamp examination reveals aphakia, iridodonesis and nonreflective semi-mydriatic pupil. Volk ® lens examination of the fundus shows dislocation of the entire bag-IOL complex into the vitreous. Our approach was: pars plana posterior vitrectomy, IOL-capsular bag complex extraction and implantation of an iris-claw artificial IOL with good anatomical and functional results. Iris-Claw artificial IOL’s are in the authors’ opinion a good and less invasive method for treating afakia of any cause.
