Modified implantation of black diaphragm intraocular lens in traumatic aniridia.

[aniridia]

We describe a modified technique of black diaphragm intraocular lens (IOL ) implantation in eyes with traumatic aniridia , aphakia , and previous vitrectomy . During black diaphragm IOL implantation , a double -armed 10 -0 polypropylene suture is used to fixate the IOL in the ciliary sulcus . Two 10 -0 polypropylene sutures are subsequently placed in front of the IOL to block its forward displacement and thus prevent its contact with the anterior chamber angle and corneal endothelium . This modified implantation technique reduces long -term complications following black diaphragm IOL implantation in patients with traumatic aniridia .No author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned .
