FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: for a clinical assessment of the lens state in order to determine the tactics of treating eye diseases, a set of diagnostic criteria is determined: lens transparency, refraction, accommodation, lens topography and capsular-ligament support state. The state of each criterion is assessed in points, the obtained points are summarized. According to the number of obtained points, the anatomical and functional state of the lens is determined as high, corresponding to normal, average, with a partial loss of functions, which shows dynamic observation and symptomatic treatment, or low, with a significant loss of functions, which shows the replacement of the lens with the intraocular lens.
EFFECT: accuracy of the clinical assessment of the anatomical and functional state of the lens is increased.
