Clinical and ultrasound biomicroscopic findings in a patient with anterior vaulting of a customized, flexible artificial iris

摘要

The HumanOptics CustomFlex Artificial Iris (HOCFAI) (HumanOptics AG, Erlangen, Germany) is a customized, flexible iris prosthesis available as a fiber-backed, or silicone-only model that can be inserted through a small, sub-3 mm, surgical incision for intra-capsular, sulcus, or suture fixation and secondary implantation with suture fixation. It has been implanted internationally in approximately 620 eyes over the past 10 years. (HumanOptics AG, unpublished data, 2013). There is high patient satisfaction and low incidence of complications postoperatively.1 We would like to share an unusual experience with this device.
