FIELD: medicine; ophthalmology.SUBSTANCE: after performing phacoemulsification, linear incisions are made in the anterior capsule from the edge of the capsulorhexis to the vault of the capsular bag in opposite meridians, forming a 1 mm wide flap. Next, the flap is removed and pinched in the previously formed coloboma of the iris. In a particular case, if necessary, the flap is additionally pinched in the paracentesis, after which the paracentesis is sutured.EFFECT: reliable fixation, a sufficient level of tension and anatomically correct position of the IOL, and preventing its rotation, ensuring the absence of refractive shift.2 cl, 10 dwg, 2 ex
