Abstract | BACKGROUND: Overview of the retropupillary implantation of iris claw intraocular lenses (Artisan®,Ophtec, Groningen, Niederlande and Verisyse(TM),AMO, Santa Ana CA). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A literature search and review of implantation techniques, patient selection, potential complications and management strategies. RESULTS: This approach has the advantage of a simple implantation technique, an anatomically correct implantation site (as compared to endocapsular implantation) and a relatively low complication rate. An intact iris is, however, a prerequisite for this technique. Ischemic vitreoretinopathies, such as diabetes or vascular occlusive entities, as well as uveitis might be considered as contraindications. CONCLUSIONS: The retropupillary implantation of iris claw intraocular lenses is an interesting and especially time-effective rehabilitation technique for aphakia.
