Surgical treatment of postcontusional iridocyclodialysis with lens damage

<p><strong>Purpose</strong>: to examine results of a new method of iridocyclodialysis and posttraumatic lens damage treatment directed at intraocu- lar pressure normalization and visual recovery.<br /><strong>Methods</strong>: 7 patients with ocular postcontusional hypotension, iridocyclodialysis, traumatic cataract and lens subluxation were ex- amined. Ultrasound biomicroscopy and optical coherence tomography were used to evaluate the status of anterior segment of the eye. <br /><strong>Results</strong>: All patients underwent two-stage surgery. As a first stage iridocyclopexia was made. Second stage was cataract extrac- tion in different modifications with iridoplasty. Follow-up period of 1-1.5 years and results of UBM and OCt showed intraocular pres-<br />sure normalization, regression of hypotension and visual recovery.<br /><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Worked out surgery of iridocyclopexia with following cataract extraction is an effective and safe method of postcon-<br />tusional iris and ciliary body damages treatment. two-stage complex surgery allows to get intraocular pressure normalization at the<br />distant times, to recover visual functions and can prevent secondary postcontusional glaucoma development.
