METHOD FOR PREVENTING POSTOPERATIVE SMALL DEGREE ASTIGMATISM CAUSED BY CATARACT PHACOEMULSIFICATION OPERATION

摘要

medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves determining astigmatism value and position of strong and week corneal optical axis. The cataract phacoemulsification operation is carried out. Sclerocorneal tunnel marking and phacoemulsification cut are carried out along the corneal optical axis. Sclerocorneal tunnel is marked along the week corneal optical axis symmetrically relative to the axis. At least two interrupted sutures are put in over the phacoemulsification cut after performing cataract phacoemulsification operation using force not exceeding causing no visually detectable cornea deformation with full anterior chamber. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of prophylaxis.
