The natural iris plays an important role in the optical system of the eye and also gives our eyes their color and influences our personal appearance. Aniridia therefore not only reduces optical quality due to photophobia, aberration errors, glare, and the loss of depth of field, but it also has a negative effect on the appearance and thus on the quality of life of the patient.
Aetiology
Complete or partial aniridia can be congenital or acquired by trauma or diseases.
Increased sensitivity to glare
Negative impact on the quality of life
Why the ARTIFICIALIRIS?
The ARTIFICIALIRIS from HumanOptics represents an ideal treatment option for patients with complete and partial aniridia. The foldable iris implant provides both medical and aesthetic rehabilitation.
