Dr. We report a patient who developed retinal detachment after implantation of iris-prostetic intraocular lens (IOL) because of traumatic aniridia. A 60-year-old male patient referred to our clinic 4 months after ocular trauma with total aniridia, a moderately opacified but stable crystalline lens and attached retina with vitreous hemorrhage in the left eye. He had an uneventful pars plana vitrectomy, phacoemulsification and black diaphragm iris-prostetic IOL implantation. Three months later, the patient presented with decreased visual acuity due to retinal detachment. Retinal detachment was repaired with a high buckle succesfully. The visual acuity was 0.6 without any sign of inflammation or raised intraocular pressure at the end of 6 month follow-up. Keywords : Iris-prosthetic intraocular lens, retinal detachment
