Implantation of the Artisan iris reconstruction intraocular lens in 5 children with aphakia and partial aniridia caused by perforating ocular trauma.

Purpose: To describe the long-term clinical results of the implantation of the Artisan iris reconstruction IOL in 5 eyes of 5 children for aphakia and partial aniridia attributable to penetrating ocular trauma.

Methods: The charts of 5 children were retrospectively reviewed. The nature and the extent of injury; age at IOL implantation; visual, refractive, and cosmetic outcome; endothelial cell density; and complications and subsequent surgical interventions were evaluated.

Traumatic pediatric cataract: a decade of follow-up after Artisan aphakia intraocular lens implantation.

Purpose: To describe the long-term clinical outcome of Artisan((R)) aphakia intraocular lens (IOL; Ophtec, Groningen, The Netherlands) implantation in five aphakic eyes of five children, without capsular support, after cataract extraction following penetrating ocular trauma.

Methods: The charts of the five children were retrospectively reviewed. The data collected included follow-up time, nature of injury, age at cataract extraction and IOL implantation, visual outcome, endothelial cell counts, complications, and subsequent surgical interventions.
