ABSTRACT

In this case report, we reported 5 eyes of 3 children with lensectomy and Artisan iris-claw aphakic intraocular lens implantation (IOL) in the management of crystalline lens subluxation. These cases have been following with the diagnosis of homocystinuria, Weil-Marchesani syndrome and idiopathic familial ectopia lentis. Lensectomy, anterior vitrectomy and iris-claw aphakic IOL implantation was performed in all cases. Postoperative corrected visual acuity improved at least 3 or more Snellen lines in all eyes. During the postoperative follow-up period (6 months to 28 months), no complications were reported. The technique of lensectomy with anterior vitrectomy and Artisan iris-claw aphakic IOL implantation may be an alternative option for crystalline lens subluxation in children.
