Implantation of artificial iris is an operation, applied as at extensive defects of the iris, as at its total absence (aniridia), due to congenital or traumatic nature of the pathology. For performance of this operation is developed a special implant - irido-lenticular diaphragm, which includes both the artificial lens and artificial iris.
The experience of artificial iris implantation already includes dozens of successful operations that resulted in a high visual acuity and a great cosmetic effect. The achievement of the unique cosmetic effect is possible due to the fact that in base of the production technology of artificial iris lies individual approach to the selection of implant color.
This is realized according to the following scheme:
1. First, digital photography of the healthy fellow eye is made.
2. Then is made computer adaptation of the healthy iris image.
3. After that, the image is printed using special polymer film.
4. At the final stage, the design of the artificial iris is collected in a single complex with an artificial lens.
Artificial iris implantation surgery is carried out only by a skilled surgeon-ophthalmologist and relates to the field of microsurgery. Unlike existing conventional implants, artificial iris includes a haptic part, made in shape of a disc. Its front surface contains three additional cambered supporting elements which inner surfaces are congruent to the front ones. In each of these cambered elements is a through slot, made in shape of two interconnected arcs. Opposite angles of both arcs are acute, and each cambered element has an adjusting opening. The application of this invention allows to reduce operational and potential post operational complications, significantly reduces the time of surgical intervention.
It should be noted that for the elimination of cosmetic defect, artificial iris can implanted even in the eye, completely blind.
