          Abstract

          NewColorIris cosmetic iris implants have a record of high ocular morbidity and are no longer in use. Newer generation of iris implants, BrightOcular, have patented posterior grooves in order to decrease iris touch and facilitate aqueous flow around the implant. However, little is known about their safety despite their implantations in 10 countries.

              Complications of cosmetic iris implants.

              Cosmetic intraocular iris implants for the purpose of changing iris color have recently been developed; however, little is known about their safety. We report a patient who had bilateral implantation of colored silicone iris implants solely for cosmetic reasons. The rapid development of uveitis, corneal decompensation, and ocular hypertension resulted in the need for explantation of the implants. Placement of these devices should require specific medical indications and meticulous surgery with early and long-term evaluation.
