Pupillary Reconstruction and Outcome after Artificial Iris Implantation

Patients with iris defects suffer from severe visual impairment, especially increased glare sensitivity and cosmetic disturbances. This constitutes a great psychological strain for those patients. Until recently, possible treatment options were iris print contact lenses, sunglasses, and simple iris prostheses. The aim of this study was to investigate structural and functional outcome parameters and patient satisfaction after implantation of this new artificial iris prosthesis.
