From Crisis to Clarity: Retropupillary Iris-Claw Lens and Iris Cerclage Techniques for Post-traumatic Cataract Rehabilitation.

This study details two cases of traumatic cataracts with a history of blunt trauma. Both presented with progressive vision loss, mydriasis, and zonular dialysis. The surgical intervention involved complete cataractous lens removal, anterior vitrectomy, iris cerclage with 10-0 prolene sutures, and retropupillary iris-claw lens fixation. Postoperative outcomes showed significant visual acuity improvements: vision reached 6/12 with correction in both cases. These findings suggest that combining iris cerclage with retropupillary iris-claw lens implantation is a safe, faster, and effective strategy for managing traumatic cataracts, offering substantial visual rehabilitation with minimal complications.
