| Abstract |
|
Traumatic aniridia is usually accompanied by severe anterior segment disruption including corneal laceration, cataract, and vitreous prolapse into the anterior chamber. We experienced a case of complete traumatic aniridia following corneal laceration without capsular rupture of lens, which has not been reported in Korea. A 28-year-old man had a corneal laceration of his right eye from a screw driver at work, which resulted in complete aniridia with only a remnant of ciliary process and UCVA was 0.08. Primary closure of corneal laceration was performed. During surgery, lens capsule was intact. Visual acuity was reduced 10 days after surgery as cataract developed. Although UCVA was 0.3 at 1 month postoperatively, he was symtomatic with glare due to aniridia. |
