FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: method involves doing tunneling corneal self-sealing incision and corneal paracenteses. Anterior capsule of natural lens is opened through tunneling corneal self-sealing incision by applying continuous circular capsulorhexis method. The natural lens is removed by means of phacoemulsification, mechanical fragmentation or laser extraction. Cortical masses are removed. Continuous circular capsulorhexis of posterior lens capsule is carried out through corneal paracentesis. Then, vitrectomy is carried out through the tunneling corneal self-sealing incision and anterior and posterior continuous circular capsulorhexis vitreotome is introduced and vitrectomy is accomplished. Liquid infusion is carried out with irrigation tip introduced through corneal paracentesis.
EFFECT: reduced risk of postoperative complications; accelerated vision function recovery.
