[Some features of phakoemulsification in lens subluxation]

A study was performed to compare three techniques of phakoemulsification (PE) (use of iris retractors, capsular ring and their combination) in 315 patients (407 eyes) with cataract and lens subluxation of different degree. A PE technique was proposed and studied in clinic using developed method of extracapsular fragmentation of two nuclear halves. Proposed and clinically approved surgical techniques (10 years follow-up) as well as differentiated approach for choosing surgical method in patients with lens subluxation let perform surgery less traumatically with minimal complication rate, get excellent and stable results during long-term follow-up.
