FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: method involves a phacoemulsification with an intraocular lens implantation and a minimally invasive antiglaocomatous intervention. A sclerotic lens is removed without regard to a degree of transparency. The minimally invasive antiglaocomatous intervention is performed by a transscleral graduated puncture of a trabecule with penetrating into an anterior chamber; a diameter of the formed opening is 50 mcm. After one opening is formed, a filtration level of intraocular fluid is visually assessed through a puncture area. If the filtration appears to be low, accessory openings are formed to achieve the visual filtration after the incision wound is dried. If creating more than one opening, their total diameter is expected to be less than 150 mcm, whereas a spread of openings provides their isolated nature.
EFFECT: method provides achieving a postoperative antihypertensive glide path that is a combination of a short-term and long-term antihypertensive effect, making it possible to ensure smooth and long-term normalisation of the intraocular pressure that increases the effectiveness of the surgical intervention.
