FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out paracentesis at 9-10 o'clock position. Cystostome end piece is introduced through the paracentesis in to the anterior chamber and perforation is done through pupil in the center of the anterior lens capsule. The capsule is pulled towards Zinn's ligament. Triangular flap is formed. The flap is thrown up over the anterior eye lens capsule. Cystostome is applied on the flap. First, 1/3 of anterior continuous circular capsulorhexis is carried out towards Zinn's ligament rupture. Then, capsule forceps is introduced through surgical incision and opposite peripheral capsule edge is fixed. The remaining part of capsulorhexis is carried out with formed flap being removed. Eye lens nucleus hydrodissection is carried out. Capsule ring is implanted. Eye lens nucleus phacoemulsification or cataract laser extraction is carried out.
EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment; avoided Zinn's ligament and continuous circular capsulorhexis edge rupture.
