[Laser fixation of the crystalline lens in its contused subluxation]

The authors report a nontraditional effective method of treating patients with contusion semiluxation of the lens. It consists in fixation of the lens at the expense of formation of posterior synechiae because of an inflammatory process induced by laser exposure of pigmented epithelium of the iris and ciliary body. Complex clinical evaluation of the organ of vision in 132 patients, including the remote period (after 3-10 years), showed good stabilization of visual functions and of the geometrical position of the incompletely dislocated lens after its laser fixation.
