Book a ConsultationAt OCL Vision, we specialise in corrective surgeries for iris and pupil abnormalities using advanced solutions like the HumanOptics Customflex Artificial Iris Implant.
Whether due to developmental conditions like iris coloboma or aniridia, or as a result of trauma, our iris implants are designed to restore both function and appearance.
What is an Iris Implant?
An iris implant is a medical device designed to correct defects in the iris or pupil.
We use the Customflex HumanOptics Artificial Iris, which is FDA-approved and CE-marked for repairing iris abnormalities.
This bespoke implant is tailored to match the colour and detail of your natural iris, providing a natural appearance and improved functionality.
The implant is made from medical-grade silicone, which is bio-inert, ensuring compatibility with the eye. It can be introduced through a small incision during a standalone procedure or in conjunction with cataract or lens fixation surgery.
Types of Iris Implants
We offer the Customflex HumanOptics Artificial Iris, which is specifically designed for the repair of iris defects. This implant requires that lens replacement surgery be performed at the same time.
Please Note: OCL Vision does not offer cosmetic iris implants for the purpose of changing eye colour.
For younger patients or those with coloboma, alternative repair methods may be more suitable, such as direct suturing of the iris tissue.

Photographs of your eyes will be taken to create a custom-matched artificial iris. The manufacturing process typically takes 6-8 weeks.
