Anterior chamber reconstruction is a procedure used to restore the normal anatomy of the anterior chamber of the eye, which is located between the cornea and the iris. This surgery is often performed after trauma, infection, or disease that causes damage to the anterior chamber, such as hyphema (blood in the anterior chamber), or after complex cataract surgery.
The procedure involves repositioning or replacing damaged structures, such as the iris or lens, and can include the implantation of intraocular lenses (IOLs) or other biomaterials to restore eye function. It may also address issues like glaucoma or vitreous involvement.
Anterior chamber reconstruction helps to restore vision, improve eye function, and prevent further complications following trauma or surgical complications.
