RT Journal Article A1 Reddy, A. K. A1 Weikert, M. P. A1 Hamill, M. B. A1 Song, Y. A1 Yen, K. G. T1 Iris-Fixated Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lenses in Children JF Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science JO Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. YR 2008 VO 49 IS 13 SP 1443 OP 1443 SN 1552-5783 AB To report the short term outcomes and complications of iris-fixated posterior chamber intra-ocular lenses (PCIOLs) in the pediatric population. Retrospective observational case study of 12 consecutive pediatric patients (17 eyes) who underwent placement of foldable iris-sutured PCIOLs between September 2004 and September 2007 by two refractive surgeons at a single academic center. Outcome measures included change in visual acuity and complications. Iris-sutured intraocular lenses were more likely to become dislocated in patients with a history of ectopia lentis due to Marfan's syndrome, hereditary, or idiopathic etiology than in patients with aphakia due to other etiologies (45% vs. 0%) in our series. Mean postoperative best corrected visual acuity improved by 0.44 (logMAR) from baseline. One eye suffered a retinal detachment. Iris fixated intraocular lenses are an acceptable option for pediatric patients to correct aphakia, but can dislocate spontaneously. Visual outcomes are good regardless of disclocation. RD 3/3/2021
