title: [New modified method of phacoemulsification in lenticular subluxation].
abstract: A new method for cataract removal by phacoemulsification in impaired lenticular joints consists in fixation during surgery of the anterior lenticular chamber along the edge of the capsulorrhexis by 4 retractor hooks and subsequent implantation of a soft intraocular lens. The operation was performed in 6 patients with cataracts of different types complicated by subluxation of the lens. The operation did not involve such complications as vitreous prolapse or displacement of the incompletely dislocated lens. All operations were finished with complete evacuation of lenticular mass and implantation of soft silicone intraocular lenses. The proposed method widens the category of patients in whom modern phacoemulsification can be used.
