Description

The 67F ANIRIDIA IOL by Morcher is a specialized prosthetic iris intraocular lens designed to address the needs of patients with partial or total iris deficiency, such as those with traumatic or congenital aniridia. This innovative medical device serves a dual purpose: enhancing visual outcomes and reducing glare disability, often used in conjunction with cataract surgery.

Design and Material

Crafted from poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), the lens features a biconvex design with an integrated artificial iris diaphragm. The overall diameter of the lens is 13.5 mm, while the diaphragm measures 10 mm. A central transparent zone of 5.0 mm ensures clear vision, while the periphery of the diaphragm is treated with a black co-polymer to occlude light effectively.

Surgical Considerations

The lens is designed for insertion through a corneal incision of at least 11 mm. It offers flexible placement options, either in the ciliary sulcus when adequate capsular support is available or through trans-scleral suturing in its absence. These features provide surgeons with versatile solutions tailored to individual anatomical scenarios.

Clinical Benefits

By mimicking the function of a natural iris, the 67F ANIRIDIA IOL significantly improves visual comfort and quality for patients lacking a functional iris. Its thoughtful design and precise engineering make it a valuable tool in ophthalmic surgery, contributing to better visual rehabilitation and patient satisfaction.

This product exemplifies Morcher's commitment to advancing ocular health through innovative solutions, offering hope and improved quality of life to those affected by iris deficiencies.
