Article Abstract
Background And Objective: To report the clinical feature of dislocated retropupillary iris-claw aphakic intraocular lens (IOL) and outcomes of reenclavation.
Patients And Methods: In this multicenter, retrospective case series, 225 eyes of 225 patients underwent retropupillary fixation of iris-claw aphakic IOL and the cases with haptic dislocation were reviewed.
Results: Single haptic dislocation was observed in 22 of 225 eyes (9.8%) after 89 ± 77 days (range: 5 days to 277 days) postoperatively, and resolution was achieved through reenclavation without any intraoperative complications in all patients. Iris atrophy in 13 eyes (59%) and history of face washing at the time of dislocation in five patients (23%) were noted. Reenclavation did not cause statistically significant change in best-corrected visual acuity (P = .315), spherical equivalent (P = .660), or endothelial cell count (P = .182) compared to those after the primary surgery.
Conclusion: Single-haptic dislocation of retropupillary iris-claw aphakic IOL is not a rare complication and can be safely and effectively corrected by reenclavation. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2020;51:384-390.].

Long-Term Clinical and Structural Outcomes Following Iris-Claw IOL Exchange for Dislocated Intraocular Lenses.

: Intraocular lens dislocation is a well-recognized complication of cataract surgery, necessitating secondary interventions such as retropupillary iris-claw IOL implantation. While effective, this procedure requires larger incisions that may induce significant astigmatism. This study aimed to (1) evaluate anterior chamber changes following retropupillary ICIOL implantation and (2) compare surgically induced astigmatism between corneal and scleral incision techniques.

Introduction: The retropupillary iris-claw intraocular lens (RP-IOL) offers a sutureless solution to complications like aphakia, intraocular lens (IOL) dislocation, and opacification post-cataract surgery. Unlike time-consuming, complication-prone traditional methods, RP-IOL potentially reduces surgical time and complications. This study evaluates RP-IOL's clinical outcomes to assess its efficacy and safety.

Background: In cataract surgery, optimal intraocular lens (IOL) placement is typically within the capsular bag. However, in the absence of sufficient capsular support, alternative techniques such as scleral-sutured IOLs, anterior chamber IOLs, and iris-fixated IOLs either in the anterior chamber or retropupillary are employed. The choice between these methods depends on factors like surgeon expertise, patient-specific anatomy, and clinical circumstances, with anterior chamber iris-claw IOLs offering a more straightforward approach and retropupillary techniques potentially providing additional benefits requiring advanced skills.

Purpose: This paper presents a modification of the needle-assisted retropupillary fixation technique for iris-claw intraocular lenses (IOLs). We introduce a novel, minimally invasive reenclavation technique for managing subluxated retropupillary iris-claw IOLs.
Methods: The technique was successfully performed on four patients diagnosed with subluxated retropupillary iris-claw IOLs.

: The utilization of iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL) in adult cases of capsular insufficiency has been investigated. However, the use of iris-claw IOL in the pediatric population is still under investigation. In this study, we evaluated the overall practice of iris-claw IOL implantation in pediatrics and compared the visual outcomes and postoperative complication rates between children and adults.
