Closed loop anterior chamber lens: a review of 127 Leiske Lens implants

One hundred twenty-seven consecutively implanted Surgidev Style 10 Leiske Lenses were evaluated. Average time of follow-up was 41.3 months. Although final acuity of 20/40 or better was achieved in 93% of patients, the surgical reintervention rate was 14%. Penetrating keratoplasty was required in seven of ten patients with corneal edema-5.5% of all eyes. Oval pupils were noted in 71% of cases. An upwardly mobile lens with displacement through the superior iridotomy was noted in 7.9% of eyes and required reoperation in 5.5% of the 127 eyes. It is recommended that use of the Surgidev Style 10 Lens be discontinued.
