Secondary iris claw intraocular lens implantation for correction of
aphakia after pars plana vitrectomy.
Finally, previous studies have reported that good compliance to amblyopia therapy was associated with a better visual outcome in children with congenital cataract, including the study from the Infant
Aphakia Treatment Study [18, 19].
This is also useful in the management of pediatric
aphakia and in those cases with abnormal anterior chamber, wherein an anterior chamber or an iris fixated lens cannot be implanted.
Asymptomatic lesions do not require referral or treatment in the absence of high-risk characteristics, which include high myopia,
aphakia, history of RD in the fellow eye, or strong family history of RD.
The 7-year-old boy had
aphakia in the right eye due to primary lensectomy and anterior vitrectomy for combined persistent fetal vasculature in July 2008.
Optical rehabilitation of childhood
aphakia, in the presence of an unstable capsule-zonule complex, is one of the most challenging tasks faced by the ophthalmologists.
Another series reported that the detachment was associated most frequently with trauma (44%), myopia (15%),
aphakia (10%), and retinopathy of prematurity (8%).
The findings, published in the journal JAMA Ophthalmology, come from the Infant
Aphakia Treatment Study.
(11) Excluding criteria were presence of vitreous hemorrhage obscuring the evaluation of the preoperative fundus (grade 2 or 3), retinal detachment due to giant retinal tears or trauma,
aphakia, and PVR of grade C or greater.
The nystagmus in two of the four patients with unilateral
aphakia is not related to the lens status but rather to bilateral macula dragging after severe ROP in one patient and optic disc hypoplasia in the other patient.
In case of unilateral involvement with cataract extraction (
Aphakia), to that eye therapy for amblyopia was initiated immediately.
For those interested in cataracts, the designated chapter covers some 42 pages, each page full of images dealing with every type, from congenital through to senile, pseudophakia and
aphakia, complications and lens-induced disease.
(13-16) Among the risk factors for IOP elevation after SiO injection, a history of preexisting glaucoma, SiO bubbles in the anterior chamber, emulsification of the SiO, diabetes mellitus, and
aphakia have been reported.
In addition to those iris defects, these eyes show corneal and scleral scars,
aphakia, retinal changes, and glaucoma depending on the initial trauma.
* VA of up to 6/24 with moderate restriction of visual field, media opacities or
aphakia
