Long-term series shows good cataract surgery results in patients previously implanted with iris-claw phakic IOLs
MILAN — Cataract surgery in patients previously implanted with iris-claw phakic lenses can lead to satisfactory visual outcomes with low induced astigmatism, according to one surgeon. Camille Budo, MD, presented his results from a series of 93 eyes of 63 patients who underwent cataract surgery at a mean interval of 8.9 years after implantation of iris-claw lenses at the annual joint meeting of Ocular Surgery News and the Italian Society of Ophthalmology. Iris-claw lenses previously implanted included the Artisan, Artiflex and toric Artisan lenses (Ophtec).
