METHOD FOR PREVENTION OF CONTRACTURE OF CAPSULAR SAC OF CRYSTALLINE LENS FOLLOWING INTRACAPSULAR IMPLANTATION OF INTRAOCULAR LENS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61F9/08 A61B8/10 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: one month after a phacoemulsification of complicated cataract and an intracapsular implantation of an intraocular lens, 3-4 2mm notches are applied on the periphery of an anterior capsulorrhexis. That is followed by an YAG laser exposure at wave length 1,064 and power 1-2 mJ. If observing the preclinical signs of a contracture of a crystalline lens capsule, an ultrasonic biological microscopy is carried out to state if it is necessary to apply the notches.

EFFECT: method provides the more effective prevention of the above pathology by providing the reliable timely detection of the contracture of the capsular sac of the crystalline lens; the declared effect is selective and only covers the patients with the preclinical signs of the contracture as shown by the ultrasonic biological microscopy; it eliminated the capsular injuries caused by the effect of the surgical instruments and prevents the visual deterioration in the patients with concurrent conditions.
