Abstract:

A 37-year-old woman with congenital aniridia and open-angle glaucoma underwent phacoemulsification with implantation of a foldable intraocular lens in her right eye. After an uneventful surgery and postoperative period, the visual acuity improved from 0.1 to 0.5 in the right eye. This may be the first report of phacoemulsification and foldable lens implantation in a patient with congenital aniridia.
