Do implantation of retropupillar iris claw lenses with and without combined penetrating keratoplasty?
Retropupillar iris claw lenses are an alternative to scleral fixated secondary lenses, which are worth considering for aphakic patients without lens supporting apparatus. This approach appears to be recommendable even in cases requiring penetrating keratoplasty, and can be performed as a combined procedure. In these patients, the most frequent complication following iris claw lens implantation seems to be secondary glaucoma.
