Microinvasive knotless fixation of posterior chamber intraoсular lenses in a ciliary sulcus
The new technique of a microinvasive knotless anchoring of posterior chamber intraocular lenses in ciliary sulcus was developed. It has a number of advantages. Firstly, there is provided a stable fixing of IOL in ciliary body; secondly, there is a possibility of «centering» of IOL during the surgery after suspension; thirdly, there is no danger of a cutting of a thread's knot through the conjunctiva; fourthly, there is observed a minimization of the induced corneal astigmatism. The majority of patients had high functional results of operative treatment. There was observed improvement of visual acuity in the early period after surgery at all patients. Stability of position of IOL within postoperative period was proved by the data of ultrasonic biomicroscopy.
