Abstract Details

Purpose:

To study visual outcome, endothelial cell loss and complications after retropupillary Iris claw lens implantation in patients with deficient posterior capsule.


Setting:

The study was carried out at Tertiary Eye care centre in Prayagraj after taking permission from ethical committee of M.L.N. Medical College, Prayagraj. As per hospital protocol, written informed consent was obtained from all patients before all the surgical procedures that they underwent.

Methods:

This prospective study included 33 patients who underwent retropupillary iris claw lens implantation in patients with posterior deficient capsule.

Results:

The mean Preop LogMAR was 0.5338 while it improved to 0.3149, 3 month postoperatively which is equivalent to 6/12. The mean endothelial cell loss was 14.95 %. There was no significant increase in IOP. Macular oedema was observed in 18 (54.54%) cases which decreased in follow up, pigment dispersion was seen in 12 (36.36%) cases. No disenclavation was seen in any case.

Conclusions:

Retropupillary Iris Claw lens implantation is less time consuming, cost effective, predictable and safe procedure capable of delivering good visual outcomes and associated with fewer complications.
