We have no financial interest • Purpose: To study results of 5 cases of PK & 1 case of descemet’s stripping femtosecond laser assisted endothelial keratoplasty with retrofixation of Iris claw lens with min. F/U of 6 mths.
Methods • In cases without posterior capsule where keratoplasty is required retrofixated Iris claw lens after +/- ACIOL explantation & anterior vitrectomy done in cases of bullous keratopathy • Routine post op F/U up & treatment done.
Methods • Iris enclavation areas monitered by UBM at 3 & 6 mths. • IOL and Iris planes compared on UBM • AC & vitreous cells monitered postop at 1,2,4,12 & 24wks . • Pre and post op BCVA at 6 mths compared.
Results • Iris enclavation was firm in all cases till last follow up in all 6 cases. • Iris & IOL planes were parallel in all 6 cases without any tilt. • No cases had postop uveitis.
Results • 1 case had acute allograft rejection at 8 wks • 1 had graft infiltrate (GPC in pairs) which led to graft failure at 11 wks Still till last F/U, retrofixated IOL was well in place. • In rest of the cases, BCVA improved from average 1.4/60, <N36 to 6/24, N 8.6 at 6 mths.
Conclusion • Retrofixation of Iris claw lens appears to be good alternative to SFIOL or aphakic CLs in cases without posterior capsule where keratoplasty is needed • Further long term studies comparing results with SFIOL cases are of course required to know the efficacy & safety of these lenses.
Conclusion • Iris atrophy leading to late slippage of the lens on long term seems unlikely but needs to be monitered and studied. • Can be used with even dilated, fixed irregular pupils provided we get a good chunk of iris for enclavation on both sides.
