Bilateral total iris atrophy, corneal decompensation and glaucoma following bilateral cosmetic artificial iris implantation: A case report of severe sequela and successful management
View through CrossRef
Purpose:
Cosmetic iris implants have a record of high ocular complications and are no longer in use. These complications include glaucoma, corneal decompensation, iris atrophy, uveitis, cataract and retinal detachment.
Case presentation:
We report a case of a 44-year-old lady presented with bilateral total iris atrophy, glaucoma and corneal decompensation after cosmetic artificial iris implantation. The patient underwent bilateral artificial iris removal, glaucoma drainage device for the right eye, and micropulse laser for the left eye. In addition, she underwent phacoemulsification with iris-diaphragm intraocular lens implant for the right. The cornea of the right eye ended up with successful Boston keratoprosthesis after rejection of previous 2 grafts.
Conclusions:
To the best of our knowledge, we describe the first report of bilateral total iris atrophy following a cosmetic iris implant accompanied by bilateral glaucoma and corneal decompensation.
