Iris-Claw intraocular lenses in children

27 children (38 eyes) with cataracts of different origins were treated using iris fixated one-piece Iris-Claw intraocular lenses. Visual acuities outcome in this group was comparable with the results in other series. The Iris-Claw lens is a very versatile IOL, which can be used in most cataract procedures, it can be removed and exchanged with minimal surgical trauma; therefore it is an effective modality in correction of the developmental changes in the refraction of the very young and growing, aphakic eye.
