ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To study the use of iris-claw Artisan intraocular lenses (IOLs) in patients with uveitis.SETTING:
Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, England.DESIGN:
Retrospective case series.METHODS:
Data on all patients with anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, and panuveitis who had anterior-fixated Artisan IOL insertion between January 2014 and July 2019 at Moorfields Eye Hospital were assessed. Patients who had less than 2 months of follow-up were excluded from the analysis.RESULTS:
The study comprised 11 patients. The mean age of the 7 women and 4 men was 61 years ± 14 (SD). The mean follow-up was 1.7 years. After Artisan IOL insertion, the corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) improved significantly from 20/200 to 20/50 (P = .02). No patients had a significant flare-up of their uveitis after the surgery, and there were no intraocular pressure-related events. One patient developed cystoid macular edema, which responded to treatment.CONCLUSION:
This case series showed the efficacy and safety of Artisan-style IOLs in patients with a history of uveitis. After the Artisan IOL insertions, these patients experienced a significant improvement in CDVA with minimal side effects.
