[A clinical study on black diaphragm posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation].

OBJECTIVE

To discuss the effect of black-diaphragm intraocular lens implantation in the management of cataract or aphakia with aniridia.

METHODS

Thirty-three cases (34 eyes) of black-diaphragm posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation were retrospectively analyzed, among which 18 eyes had undergone primary intraocular lens implantation and 16 secondary intraocular lens implantation.

RESULTS

After 1-52 months of follow-up, postoperative corrected visual acuities were greater-than-or-equal 1.0 in 17 eyes, 0.5-0.9 in 11 eyes and 0.1 -0.4 in 6 eyes. The complications included intraoperative ciliary body bleeding in 2 eyes and retinal detachment in one eye.

CONCLUSION

Black-diaphragm intraocular lens implantation is effective in the management of cataract or aphakia with aniridia.
