METHOD FOR REPOSITIONING INTRAOCULAR LENS DISLOCATED TOGETHER WITH FIBROUS-CHANGED CAPSULAR BAG Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61F9/07 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: port for leading a tip of a vitreous cutter therethrough is placed through a flattened portion of the ciliary body. A complex of an IOL and the capsular bag is aligned with a tip with deactivated cutting function. The complex is pressed up, and contours of support members are visualised on the iris. A non-traumatic reflexive needle is used to apply a transcorneal suture on the first support member. The second support member is temporarily fixed with the needle. For this purpose, the above needle is used to apply the suture on the second support member, but the needle is not pricked out completely. Distal and proximal ends of the needle are left outside the eye. The tip of the vitreous cutter is used to dissect the fibrous-changed tissues of the capsular bag. Paracenteses are performed in a projection of the sutures. The BSS solution is supplied through the paracentesis in the projections of the suture on the first support member into the anterior chamber. The tip of the vitreous cutter is brought out. The port is removed. The non-traumatic needle is pricked out from the cornea. The filament extending between the sutures is dissected. The filament ends are delivered out from the formed paracenteses, and each support member is fixed to the iris.

EFFECT: stable alignment of the IOL with the preserved diaphragm function of the iris.
