Abstract
The iris-claw intraocular lens (IOL) was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the correction of refractive disorders. Previous reports are not uniform regarding its potential to induce inflammatory reaction. We report the case of a young healthy patient who experienced persistent and intolerable iritis after implantation of an iris-claw IOL. The iritis was resolved only after explantation of the IOL.Entities:
