Iris claw lenses have been widely used as a method of secondary intraocular lens implantation. Our study consists of evaluation of safety and efficacy of use of iris claw lenses along with the visual outcome in aphakic patients. A prospective study was carried out on 40 aphakic patients undergoing iris claw lens implantation. Aim of our study was to assess the visual outcome and complications of iris fixated intraocular lens implantation in aphakic patients and the objectives were to study the safety and efficacy of Iris claw intraocular lens, to study the visual outcome in patients undergoing iris claw intraocular lens implantation and the complications associated with it. Thorough evaluation of the patient was done prior to the procedure and it was found that iris claw implantation is a safe, effective and easy method with minimal complications to treat aphakia. The anatomical position of lens is well maintained.
