AphakiaAphakia
Aphakia = absence of natural crystalline lens
Western World: very uncommon Phako / ECCE with IOL-implantation
in the capsular bag
Reasons After complicated cataract surgery
Post-traumatic dislocation of crystalline lens Capsular loss
Ectopia lentis Marfan syndrome, Weill-Marhesani syndrome, hyperlysinaemia,
homocystinuria, sulfite oxidase deficiency, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

Iris-Claw aphakic IOL
Best choice for primary or secondary implantation in aphakic eyes Safer then open-loop-angle supported AC-IOLs Surgery easier, shorter and safer then sclera sutured IOLs Some cases of PBK Endothelial cell loss – caused by surgical trauma ?

Advantages
Very safe for corneal endothelium
Produces less glare
Only a very small of HOA1
„Physiological“ space for an IOL is behind the iris

Disadvantages
Extensive anterior vitrectomy required
Special intruments are useful in order to avoid IOL-
drop into the vitreous cavity during implantation
