FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves corneal and corneoscleral incision. Scleral pockets are formed in the 11, 13, and 18 o'clock positions. Capsulorhexis or T-shaped opening of the anterior chamber of the lens is done. Capsule sack is sutured with needle in equator zone. The thread is fixed in sclera after finishing suturing in the area of the scleral pocket. Eye lens is supported with spatula introduced through the flat part of the ciliary body. Capsulorhexis is widened. Nucleus hydrodissection is carried out. Phacoemulsification or mechanical fragmentation is carried out. Needle thread 10: 0 is introduced through the cornea paracentesis at 19-20 o'clock position into the anterior chamber and brought outside through surgical incision. The thread is tied on one of inraocular lens arcs of haptic part. The inraocular lens is implanted into the capsule sack. The same inraocular lens arc is attached to sclera in scleral pocket with a needle introduced through the cornea paracentesis and equator of the capsule sack. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; reduced risk of traumatic eye lens dislocation. 3 cl, 4 dwg
