FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, specifically to ophthalmology. To position the toric intraocular lens during implantation, the position of the toric intraocular lens is at first calculated. Then, a predetermined axis of astigmatism is determined, a slit of the illuminator is set in accordance with a predetermined axis. Axis is marked by applying point scarifiers with the coloring along the edges of this axis at the points of intersection with the limb. Lens is positioned in a capsule bag in accordance with the marked axis.
EFFECT: method simplifies the positioning of the lens, reduces traumatism and economy, improves positioning accuracy due to the definition of the prescribed axis of astigmatism and the possibility of long-term preservation of its marking.
