Challenges and Complication Management in Novel Artificial Iris Implantation

Figure 2

Patient (51 y, m) with an initially traumatic iris defect and a sclera-fixed intraocular lens (a). At the end of surgery, the artificial iris was located in the ciliary sulcus without sutures (b). (c) Slight decentralization of the pupillary aperture and subluxation of the artificial iris the first day after surgery. (d) Severe dislocation of the implant threatening to fall down into the vitreous the second day after surgery. Immediate operative intervention (e) with picking up the implant and fixing the device with a double-armed 10.0 polypropylene suture to the sclera (arrow). (f) Stable location of the implant and intraocular lens 1 year after surgery.
