FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: unclosed intracapsular ring having rounded ends is made from elastic material. Ring diameter is proportional to capsule sack diameter. The ring has a hinge of the first order belonging to the same plane with the ring and turned inside. When implanting the intracapsular ring, it is brought into the injector by pulling it with injector working instrument, compact form is given and then smoothly introduced into capsule sack cavity. The ring is pulled into the injector by applying force to the hinge of the first order towards the unclosed ends. The ring is taken off from the injector into the space under anterior capsule for the opposite side relative to the incision.
EFFECT: retained capsule sack integrity for performing intracapsular implantation; reduced risk of postoperative and intraoperative complications; improved vision acuity.
