NEW YORK — At OSN New York 2019, Brandon D. Ayres, MD, of Wills Eye Hospital, shows the surgical implantation of a new iris prosthesis. The young patient had an anterior subcapsular cataract from prior iris prosthesis damage. Ayres said he prefers implanting the prosthesis inside of the capsular bag, while others prefer to leave it in the anterior chamber. – by David W. Mullin
