Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to assess and compare the visual outcome and complications of retropupillary iris claw lens implantation in absence of adequate capsular support.
Materials and Methods: This prospective, comparative, intervention, was conducted. All the patients who reported ophthalmology indoor department were divided into two groups. In 1 group patients with IMSC/MSC/Traumatic cataract/Repaired corneal tear with traumatic cataract/Subluxated IOL in which primary retropupillary iris claw lens implantation was done in the department of Ophthalmology through SICS/Phacoemulsificstion were categorised. In 2 group patients with Aphakia in which cataract surgery was performed through SICS/Phacoemulsification and were left aphakic due to PCR in the department of Ophthalmology, JLN Medical College & Hospital and outside indoor patients at various ophthalmology centres.
Result: In primary RPICL in 23(76.7%) patients found to be BCVA between 6/36 to 6/18 and in secondary RPICL 26(86.7%) patients found to be BCVA between 6/12 to 6/6. In primary cases RPICL ovalisation of pupil in 6(20%), tilted IOL with raised IOP in 3(10%) optic capture in 3(10%), iridodialysias in 3(10%), bullous keratopathy in 3(10%). In secondary RPICL optic capture in 2(6.67%), CME with raised IOP in 1(3.33%), ovalisation of pupil in 1(3.33%) was found.
Conclusion: Results of present study suggest that secondary cases (group II) showed better visual outcome and lesser complications when compared with primary cases (group I) after retropupillary iris claw lens implantation.
