[Experimental study of the effectiveness of a silicone protector designed for the vitreous body and retina in phacoemulsification]

A phacoemulsification technique is suggested that involves the use of a silicone protector. It was proven experimentally that a temporary implantation of a silicone plate, i.e. protector, into the retronuclear space, while performing the lens nuclear phacoemulsification, is an effective means of protecting the retina and vitreous body from a negative ultrasound impact.
