摘要
PURPOSE: To report a small-aperture intraocular lens (IOL) implantation after corneal trauma. METHODS: Case report. RESULTS: A 17-year-old boy with corneal scars, iris defect, and aphakia after perforating trauma in the right eye was scheduled for small-aperture IOL (IC-8; AcuFocus, Irvine, CA) implantation under general anesthesia. No intraoperative complications were observed. Six months after surgery, the uncorrected distance and near visual acuity increased significantly. Furthermore, reduced photopic phenomena were reported. CONCLUSIONS: The small-aperture IOL is a new and promising option to treat patients suffering from the effects of corneal irregularities.
