From Wounds to Wonders: Healing Traumatic Corectopia through Vitrectomy Cutter

Dr Karishma Dubey, Dr Nisha Ahuja, Dr Sanjana Shah

Abstract: Corectopia, characterized by the displacement of the pupil from its central position, can arise from congenital or acquired factors, including ocular trauma. This case report highlights a 70 - year - old female with traumatic corectopia and associated aphakia following an injury. Using a minimally invasive sutureless technique, a 25 - gauge vitrectomy cutter was employed to create a new central pupil, followed by the implantation of an iris - claw intraocular lens. The procedure demonstrated improved visual and cosmetic outcomes, showcasing the potential of this innovative method as an effective treatment for traumatic corectopia. This approach offers a promising alternative to traditional surgical methods with reduced complications and enhanced precision.
