Aphakia

Microcornea often presents with a cataract, sometimes in childhood because of syndromic associations and sometimes in adulthood with increasing nuclear sclerosis.

VIENNA —In this Healio Video Perspective from the ESCRS meeting, Matteo Forlini, MD, speaks about a new method to simultaneously correct aniridia and aphakia in post-traumatic cases.

NEW YORK – Certain IOLs are better suited to sutured or sutureless secondary IOL implantation techniques in aphakic eyes, according to a presenter at OSN New York Retina.

There are many IOL options for aphakia without capsular support, one being the angle-supported open-loop flexible anterior chamber IOL. Whether it should a hold a place in the pediatric surgeon’s armamentarium is debatable.

In children who underwent cataract removal in infancy, risk for glaucoma is high and continues to rise over a decade, with no difference observed in eyes implanted with an IOL compared with eyes left aphakic, according to a study.
