Previously the artificial iris implantation was very rarely used as there were many regulatory challenges in using artificial iris in ophthalmic surgical procedures. For every artificial iris implant procedure the surgeon had to take approval for compassionate use device exemptions (CUDE). However, recently in 2018 the U.S. food and drug administration has approved first ever artificial iris implant CustomFlex, which is specifically used in aniridia patients. The artificial iris itself does not cure or treat the condition, but helps to improve the condition and quality of life. Artificial iris also improves cosmetic appearance of the eye and visual symptoms.
