Popis: Purpose: Artisan iris-claw lens implantation (AICLI) is a surgical technique for treating ectopia lentis. We aimed to compare visual outcomes and possible long-term complications of AICLI surgery in pediatric patients with ectopia lentis with or without a diagnosable hereditary disease. Methods: Seventeen children with non-traumatic ectopia lentis were retros pectively classified into two groups: group 1 included children with a diagnosable hereditary disease (11 patients, 65%), and group 2 included children without any definable hereditary disease (six patients, 35%). Patients were evaluated for post-surgical refraction, best-corrected visual acuity, and clinical follow-up complications. Results: The average follow-up time was 38 months, and the average age of the patients was 103 ± 53 months (30-196 months). Best-corrected visual acuity values were significantly increased in both groups after surgery (p
