[Artificial iris diaphragm in silicone oil surgery].
An artificial PMMA iris diaphragm is described, which is similar to an inferior iridectomy after Ando. The diaphragm can be implanted in aniridic eyes requiring silicone oil surgery. It successfully inhibits contact between the silicone oil bubble and the corneal endothelium.
