A 37-year-old woman with congenital aniridia and open-angle glaucoma underwent phacoemulsification with implantation of a foldable intraocular lens in her right eye. After an uneventful surgery and postoperative period, the visual acuity improved from 0.1-0.5 in the right eye. This may be the first report of phacoemulsification and foldable lens implantation in a patient with congenital aniridia.
