FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for reposition an intraocular lens (IOL) dislocated together with the capsular bag. That is ensured by bringing an injection needle through a flat portion of the ciliary body under the block of the IOL and the capsular bag. The above block is aligned with this needle. Then, the block is pressed upwards, and support elements are located. The injection needle is directed under the support element more distant from the puncture point towards the iris at 2.5-3.5 mm from the pupil edge. The injection needle is advanced farther from this area towards an equator. The block is pressed farther with the needle upwards. A transcorneal suture is applied on the remote support element. The suture covers the needle itself under the block. The suture needle is punctured out. The injection needle is brought out from the suture and directed to a point of an expected fixation of the second support element. The suture is applied again at 2.5-3.5 mm from the pupil edge. The injection needle is grasped by the suture. The suture needle with the filament envelopes the injection needle to be punctured out. The injection needle is brought out. Thereafter the outside in-between suture is dissected. Suture ends are brought out into paracenteses performed in a projection of the sutures. The sutures are tied up.
EFFECT: method provides reliable, non-traumatic fixation of the dislocated IOL, stable visual acuity, reduced postoperative complications with maintained diaphragm function of the iris.
