FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: method involves making a small incision. Capsulorhexis is carried out concentrically with respect to intersection point of optical eye axis and anterior lens capsule. Anterior capsule width is hold not less than 1 mm from sack equator to capsulorhexis boundary along lens dislocation line on the strained fibers side. Capsule sack content is evacuated. One of supporting members of foldable three-sectioned Acrysof lens, having haptic part manufactured from polymethyl methacrylate, is shortened to match capsule sack in size. The folded lens is introduced into anterior chamber, spread and turned with its longitudinal axis along lens dislocation line. The lens is implanted into sack introducing it through capsulorhexis into the sack as a whole supporting member. The lens is mounted with its longitudinal axis directed along lens dislocation line intersecting the optical axis. Then, cut-off supporting member is introduced.
EFFECT: reduced risk of traumatic complications; reliable and centered intraocular lens arrangement; reduced postoperative astigmatism; small center displacement permissible.
