Murat Karacorlu

Istanbul, Turkey

To present long-term results of a black diaphragm aniridia intraocular lens (IOL) in eyes with severely traumatized eyes. An intact iris diaphragm is essential to accurate, satisfactory visual function because it decreases spherical and chromatic aberrations arising from the cristalline lens and increases depth of focus. Partial or complete aniridia may occur developmentally or after severe trauma. In this case series we showed that, the black diaphragm posterior chamber IOL overcame aphakia in eyes with considerable loos of iris tissue and may mitigate the visually disabling effects of traumatic aniridia.
