METHOD OF REPOSITIONING INTRAOCULAR LENS, DISLOCATED INTO VITREOUS CAVITY Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61F9/07 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to ophthalmology. After carrying out vitrectomy, tamponade of vitreous cavity with perfluoro-organic compound (PFOC) is performed before placing IOL behind iris. IOL is centred.

After that, second needle with second thread is taken and passed outside on sclera and inside eye after first thread in such a way that external parts of second thread are perpendicular to external parts of first thread. As a result from second thread rectangle-shaped figure is obtained, the figure being symmetrical with respect to longitudinal and transverse axes.
