ABSTRACT
The records of 4 eyes of 4 patients who had transscleral fixation of black diaphragm intraocular lenses (IOLs) after vitreoretinal surgery due to complications of severe perforating trauma were retrospectively reviewed. The transscleral fixation was performed 4 to 13 months after the vitreoretinal surgery. All patients reported a subjective decrease in glare and photophobia, with improved visual acuity in 2 eyes during a mean follow-up of 3 years. Cystoid macular edema was noted in 1 eye and transitory intraocular pressure elevation due to intraocular silicone oil in 1 eye. Severe perforating eye injury is frequently associated with extensive iris defects and lenticular and vitreoretinal complications. Although visual acuity may not be the primary concern in these eyes, favorable visual rehabilitation can be achieved following proper management of the retinal complications and transscleral fixation of black diaphragm IOLs to overcome glare and photophobia.
