Iris Diaphragm Implantation in Post-Traumatic Aniridia and Tractional Retinal Detachment

Michele Marullo, Andrea Scupola, Raffaele Pasqua, N Agostini, E. Balestrazzi

Abstract

The implantation of an artificial iris diaphragm is described in a case of aniridia and traumatic aphakia with a relapsed, tractional retinal detachment. The addition of heparin and dexamethasone to the infusion liquid is useful to reduce the fibrinous exudation which seems to be the main cause of diaphragm obliteration.
