METHODS OF SURGICAL CORRECTION OF INTRAOCULAR LENS DISLOCATION AND APHACIA (review of literature)

Abstract

Over the last several decades, there has been breakthrough in cataract surgery. The rate of intraoperative complications was minimized. One of the most common complications remained the intraocular lens (IOL) dislocations due to inadequate capsular bag support. Thus, the search for an effective and safe method of the IOL fixation in the absence of adequate support of the lens capsule continued to be one of the major problems in anterior segment surgery. This review was devoted to the main methods of correction of intraocular lens dislocation and aphacia.
