TLDR
In this article, a black-diaphragm aphakia intraocular lens (IOL) was developed to correct congenital and traumatic aniridia in the human eye.Abstract:
In cooperation with Morcher GmbH, we developed a black-diaphragm aphakia intraocular lens (IOL) designed to correct congenital and traumatic aniridia. Since June 1991, we have implanted this IOL into five eyes with congenital aniridia combined with cataract, and into eight eyes with traumatic aniridia combined with cataract or aphakia. Positioning the IOL was rather difficult, especially in the traumatic cases with inadequate capsular support, and in combination with penetrating keratoplasty. After up to 15 months' follow up, functional results are encouraging. However, slight persistent intraocular inflammation was observed in all of the eyes, more obviously in the traumatic cases. The effect of the IOL on the corneal endothelium is still being investigatedread more

TL;DR: The methods that have been devised to allow intraocular lens implantation in the absence of capsular or zonular support are reviewed, including anterior chamber angle and iris-fixated lenses, as well as posterior chamber ir is- and scleral-sutured lenses.

Lens implant selection with absence of capsular support
H. B. Dick,Albert Augustin +1 more
TL;DR: In the absence of capsular support, the transsclerally sutured PCIOLs offer numerous advantages for certain eyes, and is more appropriate for eyes with compromised cornea, peripheral anterior synechiae, shallow anterior chamber, or glaucoma.

TL;DR: Scleral fixation of PCIOLs can be visually rewarding in selected cases, but there is a high rate of complications during a long-term follow-up.

TL;DR: Although operating on traumatized, congenitally aniridic, or uveitic eyes presents special challenges, implantation of prosthetic iris devices appears to be a safe and effective method for reducing the ubiquitous glare in patients with iris deficiency.
