A member asked:
Can iris implant along with inraocular lens implant be done prior to implanting the contact lens in sn without iris n natural lens.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No : Patients that fail contact lens trial are then candidates for a synthetic iris and intraocular lens in cases of traumatic aniridia. In cases of congenital aniridia e visual prognosis is lower, and surgery is less beneficial.
