FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, and namely to ophthalmology and can be used for flexible intraocular lens implantation in Marfan syndrome, and for crystalline lens subluxation and posterior capsule rupture. Capsulorhexis is performed in the anterior capsule of a luxated crystalline lens. After phacoemulsification of the crystalline lens, double needles are fastened to two haptic elements of the implanted intraocular lens by the loop method. Another two haptic elements and an optic part of the lens are implanted in the capsular sac. The haptic elements with the fastened needles are introduced behind the iris within the crystalline lens luxation and sequentially introduced under the iris and stuck out through the cornea within the limb in a projection of each haptic element introduced behind the iris within the luxation. In the middle of the distance between the delivered needles, paracentesis is performed; therethrough the needles are delivered from the anterior chamber and connected with creating an interrupted stitch on the iris.
EFFECT: method allows for reliable fixation of the lens at minimum traumatism of phacoemulsification due to downsizing the extended phacoemulsification incision and reduced risk of postsurgical complications; prevention of potential displacement or rotation of this lens from its initial position resulting from trauma or other hazards.
