A 38-year-old patient presented to us with complaints of blurred vision and photophobia in the left eye with an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/400, improving to 20/60 with pinhole. The patient underwent phakic iris-claw lens surgery 15 years ago for high myopia. On examination, there was anterior chamber rigid phakic iris-claw lens along with complicated cataract. We planned for sutureless self-sealing 6.5 mm sclerocorneal tunnel for explantation of rigid phakic iris-claw lens along with cataract extraction with irrigating vectis. There was postoperative reduction in astigmatism due to incision planned on steep axis, and visual acuity improved to 20/30 uncorrected. This technique provides significant advantages from the previously described techniques in terms of decreased postop astigmatism, no need for sutures, no issues of chamber instability and iris trauma and without the need for phacoemulsification.

Iris-Claw Anterior Chamber Phakic Intraocular Lens Explantation: A Case Series.
J Curr Ophthalmol
August 2024
Department of Opthalmology, Centro Hospitalar Vila Nova de Gaia, Espinho, Portugal.
Purpose: To evaluate indications, clinic characteristics, and outcomes in a series of patients who underwent explantation of phakic intraocular lens (pIOL).
Methods: Retrospective case series of patients who underwent iris-claw pIOL explantation in our institution from 2018 to 2022. Indications for explantation and visual and refractive outcomes were analyzed.

David J. Apple Laboratory for Vision Research, Heidelberg, Germany.
Purpose: Anterior iris-claw phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation is a treatment option for refractive, ametropic patients. However, the postoperative accommodative ability has not been systematically researched. Dynamic stimulation aberrometry allows the objective and dynamical measurement of accommodation by observing ocular aberrations during the accommodation process.

Background: Both the anterior chamber and posterior chamber phakic intraocular lenses (pIOLs) implantation are acceptable refractive surgical approaches in keratoconus patients with high anisometropia, contact lens intolerance, or who prefer spectacle and contact lens independent. They are beneficial for correcting anisometropia in stable keratoconus cases or following corneal procedures such as intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS), collagen cross-linking (CXL), and keratoplasty. They are suitable for eyes without advanced keratoconus with acceptable best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) or without highly irregular astigmatism, high comma, and higher-order aberrations (HOAs).

Purpose: We evaluated the pupillary characteristics and response to light and drugs in eyes with posterior chamber (PC) placement of iris-claw intraocular lens (IC-IOL).
Methods: In this cross-sectional, comparative study, we included adults with an IC-IOL implanted in the PC of a single eye. We excluded patients with ocular trauma, postoperative IC-IOL displacement or complications, and extended iris atrophy.

Background. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of Femto-LASIK, PRK, and Artiflex/Artisan phakic lens implantation in the surgical correction of myopia at different moments of postoperative follow-up; to propose a linear predictive model of visual acuity without correction at five years of refractive procedures; and to evaluate its validity.
