About this study

18 eyes of 16 patients received secondary anteriorly iris-fixated intraocular lenses (IOLs) to correct for aphakia without capsular support, partly combined with anterior or complete pars plana vitrectomy. Primary outcome measurements included visual acuity (6m Snellen charts), central endothelium cell count (cECC) and postoperative intraocular position of the IOL assessed with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT).
