Description

The 68 ANIRIDIA IOL is a specialized intraocular lens designed to address the unique needs of patients with aniridia and aphakia. This lens is particularly suitable for those undergoing cataract surgery where alternative fixation methods, such as sulcus or scleral fixation, are required. It is an ideal solution for cases with zonular weakness or lens capsule fragility, where standard intraocular lenses may not be appropriate.

Key Features

• Optic Design: The lens features a monofocal, refractive, spheric optic with a biconvex shape. It includes a pupillary aperture of 4.5 mm and is available in diaphragm sizes ranging from 4.5 mm to 10 mm. The overall diameter of the lens is 12.5 mm.

• Iris Mimicry: The peripheral colored region of the lens mimics the iris, offering different pigmentation options and tinted versions to reduce light sensitivity.

• Material Composition: Constructed from black PEMA and PMMA, the lens provides UV-light protection. The haptics are made from PMMA, ensuring compatibility and stability.

Implantation and Fixation

The lens requires a large incision for implantation and is designed for scleral fixation via sutures. It can be folded and injected through small incisions or sutured to the sclera, offering versatility in surgical techniques. The lens is compatible with various IOL models and capsular tension rings, allowing implantation in the capsular bag or sulcus.

Customization Options

The 68 ANIRIDIA IOL offers customizable diameters to match the patient’s iris defect. It is available in two main versions: Fiber Free and With Fiber, catering to different surgical needs. The peripheral colored region and pigmentation options enhance cosmetic outcomes.

Optical Properties

• Refractive Index: 1.49
• A Constant: 119.6 (sclera sutured)
• ACD Constants: 5.37 and 5.90 (sclera sutured)

Clinical Benefits

This lens significantly reduces photophobia and light sensitivity while improving cosmetic appearance. Supported by clinical studies and peer-reviewed publications, it boasts high patient satisfaction in both cosmetic and functional outcomes.

Additional Notes

The 68 ANIRIDIA IOL is not preloaded, requiring careful manual handling during surgery. It serves as a flexible, customizable prosthesis for iris reconstruction, compatible with various surgical techniques. This makes it an invaluable tool for complex cases where standard IOLs are unsuitable, providing effective iris reconstruction and enhancing patient quality of life.
