PURPOSE: To study artificial iris intraocular lens (IOL) or ring specially designed for correction of aniridia or iris deficiencies associated with cataract or aphakia. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Nine patients with partial or total aniridia underwent the surgical procedure. A black (Morcher 67F) or brown (Ophtec 311) diaphragm intraocular lens was used for the seven patients with aphakia. Morcher 50C rings were used for the patients with cataract. RESULTS: The esthetic results were satisfactory. Photophobia was reduced in all cases. Postoperative complications included one case of transient hypertony and one case of retinal detachment. CONCLUSION: We recommend the use of artificial iris IOL or rings in aniridia associated with cataract or aphakia.
