An intraocular lens (IOL), in the optic part zone of which applied are prisms without spaces in such a way that a light ray, falling perpendicular to the lens surface, falls on the optic surface of the prism and changes its course perpendicular to the surface with the gradation of distribution from 5 to 10 degrees from the foveola, in addition IOL is provided with a mark, determining the direction of refracted rays, with the angle of the light flow deviation being determined at the pre-operation stage by data of microperimetry, IOL position is determined by the mark depending on the direction of the light flow projection, and selection of IOL with a required angle of deviation is realised at the pre-operation stage by the data of microperimetry.

Method for surgical management of dacryocystitis in adults with implanting lachrymal surgical drain tube

Lower lachrymal point is expanded. A probe is projected along a lower lachrymal duct all the way to the bone. A light guide is delivered through the expanded lower lachrymal duct all the way to the bone and fixed manually. A nasal cavity is visualised with an endoscope. Bone tissue of a lateral wall of the nasal cavity is burned through with endoscopically controlled laser light until the laser light appears in the nasal cavity. That implies using a diode laser at wave length 970 nm, emission power 6-7 Wt, in the continuous mode. An endoscopically controlled drain tube is inserted into the formed fistula through the nasal cavity by means of a plastic injector 10.01 mm long, 2 mm in diameter. The drain tube is 8.4 mm long. An external diameter of the cylindrical portion is 3 mm, whereas an internal diameter is 2 mm with the length of 6 mm. For the purpose of fixation in the lachrymal sac, an implanted end of the drain tube has deformable fletching elements 5 mm in diameter, 1 mm wide from each side, and 3.2-3.5 mm in flexion diameter. At the opposite side of the drain tube, there is a pad 5 mm in diameter fixed in the nasal cavity. Along the entire drain tube, there are grooves 0.25 mm wide, 8-8.1 mm long for additional outflow of the lachrymal fluid.

Method of treating recurring pterygium of large sizes based on autoplasty

Invention relates to medicine, namely to ophthalmology, and can be applied for treating recurring pterygium of large sizes based on autoplasty. Obtained technical result consists in reduction of defect size of bulbar conjunctiva, which provides possibility of effective treatment of recurring pterygium of large sizes based on autoplasty due to selection of required size of transplant, capable of covering conjunctival defect, obtained after dissection of pterygium body and head. After excision of pterygium body and separation of pterygium head bulbar conjunctiva in zone of pterygium excision on defect edge is sutured with blanket suture, after which thread is tightened, with formation of considerably smaller in size bulbar conjunctiva defect. From lower-external part of conjunctival fornix donor tissue for transplant formation is cut out. As donor tissue section of conjunctiva is applied. Size of transplant is calculated taking into account size of obtained conjunctival defect. Transplant is placed on sclera in place of pterygium body excision and fixed with uninterrupted suture to own bulbar conjunctiva.

Method for surgical management of ocular hypotony as complication following fistulising antiglaucomatous operations

Fistula is packed with the eye self-tissue. The Tenon's membrane is used as a packing tissue. The Tenon's membrane is taken from the fornix by excising the fragment. The fragment diameter exceeds the fistula diameter. The excised fragment is inserted from the outer side into the fistula. The fragment is sutured to the sclera.

Method for eyeball nucleation

Method involves opening and separating a conjunctiva, a sclera and a Tenon's space, crossing oculomotor rectus and oblique muscles, performing neurotomy, removing an eyeball, placing an implant or a prosthesis. The conjunctiva and Tenon's space are separated from the sclera by blunt dissection up to an attachment point of the oculomotor muscles, which are gripped at a tendon and crossed at the sclera. The oculomotor muscles are left in a tendon bed in a Tenon's sac.

Method of performing corneoscleral tunnel cut in cataract facoemulsification

Method of performing corneoscleral tunnel cut in cataract facoemulsification

Performing a corneoscleral tunnel cut includes the cut with the diamond knife within the limits of the transparent cornea. The cut length is determined depending on the diameter of an intraocular lens planned for implantation. The cut is made on the tangent to the limbus without the separation of the conjunctiva and with the placement of the tunnel on 2/3 in the cornea and 1/3 in the sclera under the conjunctiva. In such a way the corneoscleral tunnel is formed in the form of a rectangle with the width of 2.5 mm and the depth of 2.0 mm. The extension of the tunnel cut is performed towards the subconjunctival edge. In performing the cut sutures are not applied.
