PURPOSE: To evaluate the visual outcomes and complications after Artisan iris-claw lens implantation in aphakic @entity1 with insufficient capsular support. METHODS: In this prospective, interventional noncontrolled study, aphakic eyes of consecutive @entity1 >2 years of age with insufficient capsular support who underwent Artisan @entity2790 ( @entity2790 ) implantation between June 2011 and December 2012 were followed for 1 year. @entity1 with anterior chamber depth <3 mm, central endothelial cell density (CECD) <2500 cells/mm  , uncontrolled @entity726 , or @entity1596 were excluded. Best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), and CECD were measured at 1, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. RESULTS: A total of 25 aphakic eyes of 18 @entity1 (mean age, 7.86    3.08 years) with insufficient capsular support for a standard posterior chamber @entity2790 were included, 18 eyes with subluxated lens and 7 following @entity130 . The mean preoperative logMAR best-corrected visual acuity for traumatic aphakic @entity1 was 0.95    0.36; for @entity1 with subluxation, 0.7      0.26. Values improved at 1 year to 0.38    0.15 (P < 0.002) and 0.3    0.2 (P < 0.0001), respectively. One year after surgery the CECD (2892.64    441.79 cells/mm  ) was significantly reduced from the preoperative and 1 month postoperative values (3573.36    468.9 cells/mm(2), 3081    495 cells/mm  ; P < 0.0001, P < 0.02 resp.). Two cases (8%) developed @entity130 . @entity616 occurred in 1 case (4%). CONCLUSIONS: Artisan @entity2790 implantation for pediatric @entity4118 achieved a good visual outcome.
