Traumatic Aniridia Following a Blunt Ocular Trauma in a Pseudophakic Patient

Blunt ocular traumas cause serious ocular problems in the anterior and posterior segments of the eye and even may result in globe\udperforation. In the literature, some cases have been reported with aniridia by traumatic iris expulsion and preserved intraocular lens after\udblunt trauma in pseudophakic eyes that had undergone cataract surgery with phacoemulsification. In this case, phacoemulsification was\udperformed four months before a blunt trauma to the same eye, intraocular lens remained centralized although traumatic aniridia and\udpartial zonulolysis occurred. This is the first case of traumatic aniridia in a pseudophakic eye in our country, and we aimed to present the\udpossibility of relative protective effects of small cataract incisions after blunt trauma.
