| Summary: | Cases of aphakia with no capsular support can be managed with anterior chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL), iris fixated IOL or scleral fixated IOL(SFIOL).

Iris-claw lens implantation is an effective method for correction of aphakia with several advantages such as having fewer complications, with its easy placement and good visual outcomes. Herein, we report a case of a 42-year-old male patient who presented with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy with secondary glaucoma as a complication of anterior chamber iris-claw lens. |
