AI Article Synopsis
- Iris fixated lenses are used to help people who have eye problems like Aphakia and loose lenses.
- Sometimes, these lenses can make the pupil stay small after surgery.
- We found a new way to fix a serious eye issue that happens with these lenses, which makes the surgery easier and faster while helping the patient see better sooner.
Article Abstract
Iris fixated intraocular lens (IOLs) have been used for Aphakia and capsular bag instability. The IOLs cause a postoperative non dilating pupil in most cases. We encountered such a case which presented with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. We describe a novel technique of operating for retinal reattachment in such a case using iris hooks passing in the potential plane between the IOL optic and the iris. The technique had advantages of obviating the need for IOL explantation, associated large corneal entry wound, allowing silicone oil tamponade by retaining an IOL-iris diaphragm, early visual rehabilitation, reduced surgical time, and avoiding multiple surgeries.
