Abstract

Our patient is a 63-year-old man with an amblyopic left eye, who had a traumatic open-globe injury of the right eye in 2011. Upon ocular examination hyphema, traumatic aniridia, luxated cataract with corneoscleral rupture were found. The eye had been primarily repaired, using 10.0 and 8.0 sutures, intracapsular cataract extraction had been performed, along with and anterior vitrectomy. In 2012., the patient had a corneal ulcus which has been treated with amniotic membrane transplant. A scleral-fixated artifitial iris intraocular lens (Ophtec USA, model 311, +20.00) has been placed and sutured with polypropylene, atraumatic suture 10/0, 16mm needle double armed. Perforative keratoplasty had also been performed, using interrupted and running suture technique. Postoperatively, the artifitial iris-IOL remained well centered. Patients visual acuity improved to best corrected visual acuity of 0.2. Patient also reported a subjective reduction in glare.
