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.

Long-term follow-up of the corneal endothelium after artisan lens implantation for unilateral traumatic and unilateral congenital cataract in children: two case series.

Purpose: To retrospectively estimate the long-term corneal endothelial cell loss in children after perforating corneal trauma and implantation of an iris-fixated anterior-chamber intraocular lens (IOL), either the Artisan aphakia lens or the Artificial Iris Implant, and to compare this corneal endothelial cell loss to that in children who received an Artisan aphakia lens to correct aphakia after cataract extraction for unilateral congenital cataract.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed, evaluating the charts and endothelial photographs of 6 patients with unilateral traumatic cataract, with a mean age at IOL implantation of 9.5 years (range: 5.

Reduced corneal swelling and deswelling response in the iridocorneal endothelial syndrome.

Purpose: Despite severe abnormalities of the corneal endothelium in the iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome, the cornea can remain clear and maintain its normal thickness for years before corneal decompensation occurs. The aim of this study is to analyze this discrepancy by studying corneal hydration control in the ICE syndrome.

Methods: In four subjects with unilateral ICE syndrome, without signs of corneal decompensation, a "corneal stress test" was performed in both the affected and the unaffected eye.
