ABSTRACT
To study effects of Artisan iris fixated intraocular lens [IOL] on central corneal thickness [CCT] and intraocular pressure [IOP] in pediatric eyes with crystalline subluxated lenses. The study included 17 eyes undergoing Artisan aphakic IOL implantation after lensectomy for subluxated crystalline lenses. CCT and IOP measurements were recorded pre-operatively and post-operatively taking the mean of 4 post-operative visits. Patients were divided into Group A [n = 8] including patients with lensectomy and iris fixation of Artisan IOL as a primary procedure and Group B [n = 9] including patients in which lensectomy was carried out as a primary surgery and Artisan IOL fixation as a secondary procedure. Children ranged in age from 08 years to 16 years, mean 11.59 +/- 2.96 years. Follow-up period ranged from 7 months to 16 months, mean 11.24 months +/- 4.27. Mean pre-operative and post-operative IOP in Group A was 14.88 +/- 2.80 and 14.16 +/- 0.59 respectively [P = 0.528]. In Group B it was 12.44 +/- 2.79 and 14.44 +/- 1.15 respectively [P = 0.080]. Mean pre-operative and post-operative CCT in Group A was 529.13 +/- 24.23 and 529.87 +/- 17.46 respectively [P = 0.674]. In Group B it was 567.33 +/- 29.13 and 568.83 +/- 25.69 respectively [P = 0.859]. Primary and secondary Artisan aphakic IOL implantation did not cause any significant changes in corneal thickness or IOP during the follow-up period
