PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term corneal @entity1358 ( @entity1358 ) and outcomes after iris-fixated aphakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in @entity1 after bilateral congenital or juvenile @entity231 extraction and to compare the outcomes with data in the literature. SETTING: Academic Medical Centre, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. DESIGN: Case series. METHODS: This retrospective study evaluated the charts and endothelial photographs of @entity1 who had Artisan aphakic @entity2790 . The main outcome measure was the @entity1358 at the last follow-up visit. RESULTS: The mean age of the 10 @entity1 (20 eyes) at @entity2790 was 7.4 years (range 4.3 to 11.1 years) and at the last follow-up, 19.6 years (range 14.3 to 26.6 years). After a mean follow-up of 12.3 years (range 10.0 to 15.6 years), the mean @entity1358 was 2702 cells/mm(2) (range 1382 to 3974 cells/mm(2)). Although this is comparable to the mean normal endothelial cell counts in this age group reported in the literature, a wider range of @entity1358 was found in the current study. CONCLUSIONS: The mean corneal @entity1358 after more then 10 years of follow-up was comparable to the mean normal @entity1358 for this age group reported in the literature. The high standard deviation of the mean @entity1358 in the current study highlights the importance of prospective studies on the @entity1358 after iris-fixated aphakic @entity2790 in young @entity1 .
