To describe a novel technique for cataract surgery in patients with iris coloboma. The technique involves 1) creation of an inferiorly displaced capsulorrhexis and 2) amputation of one intraocular lens (IOL) haptic, thus allowing for controlled IOL decentration in the direction of an inferior iris defect. We report favorable outcomes in two eyes (o...
