The ARTIFICIALIRIS for patients with aniridia
The ARTIFICIALIRIS from HumanOptics is the world’s unique foldable iris prosthesis, for both medical and aesthetic reconstruction of eyes with complete or partial aniridia.
The CUSTOMFLEX® ARTIFICIALIRIS from HumanOptics Holding AG has received FDA approval. This makes it the only product of its kind currently approved in the US market addressing medical needs not yet served there.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The ARTIFICIALIRIS from HumanOptics is not intended for a cosmetic change of eye color. The product is developed for implantation in the posterior chamber of the eye and is not suitable for placement in the anterior chamber. It is strongly recommended that the ARTIFICIALIRIS from HumanOptics is implanted only after removal of the natural lens and IOL implantation. Please note that not all products are available in all countries.
The ARTIFICIALIRIS is indicated for use in adults and children from 6 years for the treatment of full or partial aniridia resulting from congenital aniridia, acquired defects, or other conditions associated with full or partial aniridia.

ARTIFICIALIRIS by HumanOptics
The solution for your patients with aniridia
The natural iris plays an important role in the optical system of the eye and also gives our eyes their color and influences our personal appearance. Aniridia therefore not only reduces optical quality due to photophobia, aberration errors, glare, and the loss of depth of field, but it also has a negative effect on the appearance and thus on the quality of life of the patient.
Aetiology
Complete or partial aniridia can be congenital or acquired by trauma or diseases.
Impairment caused by aniridia
Why the ARTIFICIALIRIS?
The ARTIFICIALIRIS from HumanOptics represents an ideal treatment option for patients with complete and partial aniridia. The foldable iris implant provides both medical and aesthetic rehabilitation.

PINCIPLE OF ACTION
WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SAY?
IKE AHMED, MD, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO, CANADA
“ARTIFICIALIRIS is a device designed to correct the subjective symptoms of aniridia, including photophobia and glare, and to provide an excellent cosmetic result […]. It is a highly versatile tool in anterior segment reconstruction as it can be folded and injected into the capsular bag or sutured to the sclera.”
Gooi P, Teichman J, Ahmed I. Sutureless intrascleral fixation of a custom-tailored iris prosthesis with an intraocular lens. J Cataract Refract Surg 2014; 40:1759–63.
PETER SZURMAN, MD, AUGENKLINIK SULZBACH, KNAPPSCHAFTSKLINIKUM SAAR, GERMANY
“The artificial iris prosthesis sets a new standard in the reconstruction of complex anterior segment pathologies with partial or complete aniridia. Our patients benefit from improved visual funktion, reduced glare and a satisfactory cosmetic appearance. The latter is important and legitimate, considering that trauma patients are mostly young and long for a cosmetically acceptable outcome.”
Personal statement, 2019.
PROVEN BY CLINICAL STUDIES
70%
of patients reported significant decreases in light sensitivity and glare
94%

INJECTABLE
The ARTIFICIALIRIS from HumanOptics is made of highly biocompatible flexible silicone. It can be folded and rolled for insertion through small incisions. The model ARTIFICIALIRIS Fiber Free can be injected through qualified injector systems.
CUSTOMIZABLE
The ARTIFICIALIRIS from HumanOptics can be customized in shape and size to the respective iris defect by using of trephines.
Also see our selected range of trephines:
FLEXIBLE
The ARTIFICIALIRIS from HumanOptics allows a variety of implantation methods, adapted to the specific conditions of the affected eye. Remain flexible – even during the procedure. The iris implant can be combined with almost all IOL models.

WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SAY?
STEPHAN KAMINSKI, AUGENKLINIK ZÜRICH WEST, SWITZERLAND & AUGE UND LASER WIEN, AUSTRIA
“Until now, iris reconstruction was a challenging surgical procedure requiring large sclerocorneal incisions and often resulting in poor cosmetic outcomes. With the ARTIFICIALIRIS, small self-sealing incisions are possible, enabling fast visual recovery and excellent cosmetic outcomes. The device may be used for complete or partial iris reconstruction.”
Kaminski S. Iatrogenic coloboma, aniridia, and aphakia. J Cataract Refract Surg Today Europe 2012; July/August: 52–54.
MICHAEL E. SNYDER, MD, CINCINNATI EYE INSTITUTE, USA
“A patient … suffered severe, disfiguring damage to her eye in a car accident as a young child. Now in her 20s, the young woman recently underwent implantation of a HumanOptics artificial iris. She called to tell me that receiving the artificial iris was one of the best things that had ever happened to her …. She still calls or sends a note periodically just to remind me and my team of her happy result.”
