title: [Experimental implantation of the "Ufalens" artificial lens in primary surgical treatment].
abstract: Described in the paper is the response of eye tissues in extraction of traumatic cataract with IOL implantation observed in primary surgical treatment of penetrating corneal wounds. Experiments were made on 60 rabbits (120 eyes). 5 mm-long penetrating corneal wounds located in the optic zone with damaged lens were modeled in the experimental group (30 rabbits, 60 eyes). The wound was surgically treated in 24 hours: traumatic cataract was extracted and posterior-chamber IOL was implanted ("Ufalens-1" manufactured at the UFA Research institute of eye diseases). Thirty rabbits (60 eyes) were in the control group: transparent lens was extracted in them and IOL (same model) was implanted. The animals were taken out of the experiment by air embolism on days 3 and 7 and in 1, 3 and 7 months. Tinting with hematoxylin or eosin was used to ensure plain histological examination. The stages of histological treatment of tissues were carried out according to the standard method. A conclusion was made on the basis of research results that the implantation of "Ufalens-1" in primary surgical treatment of eyeball wounds with damaged lens does not have any essential clinical or morphological impact on the severity of the postoperative period and can be recommended as a method of medical rehabilitation of victims for use at specialized ophthalmologic clinics.
