PROSTHETIC IRIS: A SOLUTION FOR NON-FUNCTIONING PUPILS

Surendra Basti, MD, discusses the prosthetic iris — a groundbreaking solution for people with non-functioning pupils. Made from medical-grade silicone, this innovative prosthesis mimics the natural iris and enhances vision through a small opening. Dr. Basti details the surgical procedure, including the preparation, insertion and unfolding of the prosthesis, as well as the recovery process and essential post-op care.
