A 38-year-old patient presented to us with complaints of blurred vision and photophobia in the left eye with an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/400, improving to 20/60 with pinhole. The patient underwent phakic iris-claw lens surgery 15 years ago for high myopia. On examination, there was anterior chamber rigid phakic iris-claw lens along with complicated cataract. We planned for sutureless self-sealing 6.5 mm sclerocorneal tunnel for explantation of rigid phakic iris-claw lens along with cataract extraction with irrigating vectis. There was postoperative reduction in astigmatism due to incision planned on steep axis, and visual acuity improved to 20/30 uncorrected. This technique provides significant advantages from the previously described techniques in terms of decreased postop astigmatism, no need for sutures, no issues of chamber instability and iris trauma and without the need for phacoemulsification.

INTRODUCTION: To compare the surgical outcomes of anterior chamber (AC) and posterior chamber (PC) implantation of iris claw lens (ICL) combined with penetrating corneal transplantation (P-CT), in eyes with no capsular support. METHODS: The records of 20 P-CT cases who underwent ICL implantation were retrospectively evaluated. The eyes were grouped according to the location of implantation; AC ICL and PC ICL. Pre- and post-surgical best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), post-operative complications and graft rejection rates were compared between the two groups. Mean follow-up time was 28 (range, 12 and 76) months. RESULTS: ICLs were implanted during P-CT surgery in 14 (70%) eyes, and as a secondary procedure after P-CT in 6 (30%) eyes. ICLs were implanted in PC in 12 (60%) and in AC in 8 (40%) eyes. Mean preoperative BCVA was 0.064 (range, 0.001-0.02) in PC group and 0.02 (range, 0.001-0.1) in AC group (p=0.86). Mean postoperative BCVA was 0.17 (range, 0.0001-1.0) in PC group and 0.14 (range, 0.0001-0.4) in AC group (p=0.81). Glaucoma developed in 5 (41.6%) eyes with PC ICL. No eye with AC ICL developed glaucoma over time. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Both AC and PC ICL implantation provide favorable visual outcomes and complication rates in CT patients. However, PC implantation of ICL seems to increase glaucoma incidence.
