Artificial iris implants were originally developed for therapeutic purposes but have recently been used for cosmetic alteration of the eye colour. A 21-year-old woman presented with bilateral eye redness, visual loss, raised intraocular pressure, corneal oedema and hyphaema following implantation of artificial irises in Tunisia. Combined medical and surgical management led to improvements, but reduced vision and photophobia persisted. Cosmetic iris implantation can lead to persistently sight-threatening eye complications, and we strongly advise against its use.

Anatomical and functional results of patients with late-stage age-related macular degeneration 6 months after smaller-incision new-generation implantable miniature telescope (SING IMT™) implantation.
Eye (Lond)
January 2025
Department of Translational Medicine, University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate anatomical and functional outcomes of the Smaller-Incision New Generation Implantable Miniature Telescope (SING IMT™) in patients with bilateral advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: This non-comparative retrospective single-surgeon interventional case series included patients with bilateral late-stage AMD who underwent cataract surgery and SING IMT™ implantation at the Sant'Anna University Hospital, University of Ferrara, Italy. The main outcome measures included corrected distance (CDVA) and near visual acuity (CNVA), endothelial cell loss (ECL), and incidence of complications.

Ophthalmology, Sankara Eye Hospital, Anand, IND.
This study details two cases of traumatic cataracts with a history of blunt trauma. Both presented with progressive vision loss, mydriasis, and zonular dialysis. The surgical intervention involved complete cataractous lens removal, anterior vitrectomy, iris cerclage with 10-0 prolene sutures, and retropupillary iris-claw lens fixation.

Iris Avulsion During Corneal Wound Hydration After Uneventful Cataract Extraction.
Cureus
November 2024
Ophthalmology, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, GBR.
We report a case of spontaneous total iris avulsion that occurred during corneal wound hydration following an uneventful phacoemulsification procedure. An 86-year-old woman underwent cataract surgery on her right eye, during which a single-piece acrylic intraocular lens (Bausch and Lomb Akreos Adapt Advanced Optics, Bausch and Lomb Incorporated, Rochester, NY, USA) was implanted in the bag, and the viscoelastic material was removed. During corneal wound hydration, total iris avulsion was observed, with the iris prolapsing out of the anterior chamber through the main wound.

An 18-year-old woman with a congenital iris stromal cyst was referred for sudden-onset increased intraocular pressure (IOP) that did not respond to medical therapy. Ultrasound biomicroscopy demonstrated synechial angle closure from 9:00 to 12:00 in addition to a large cyst occupying much of the inferior angle. After implantation of an Ahmed glaucoma valve, her visual acuity returned to baseline, and IOP normalized.
