title: Small-Aperture Intraocular Lens Implantation in a Patient With an Irregular Cornea.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a small-aperture intraocular lens (IOL) implantation after corneal trauma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A 17-year-old boy with corneal scars, iris defect, and aphakia after perforating trauma in the right eye was scheduled for small-aperture IOL (IC-8; AcuFocus, Irvine, CA) implantation under general anesthesia. No intraoperative complications were observed. Six months after surgery, the uncorrected distance and near visual acuity increased significantly. Furthermore, reduced photopic phenomena were reported.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The small-aperture IOL is a new and promising option to treat patients suffering from the effects of corneal irregularities. [J Refract Surg. 2016;32(10):706-708.].
