FIELD: medicine; ophthalmology. SUBSTANCE: before removal of the subluxated lens through the incision of the ciliary body flat part and before introduction of an intraocular lens into the anterior chamber, a transparent polymer disk with flanged posterior surface is placed there. This reduces complications in cases of destruction of the vitreous body due to avoiding its tractions and contact with the corneal endothelium. EFFECT: lower rate of complications.
