Abstract
Purpose. To evaluate the surgical treatment results of traumatic cataract with the lens capsule-ligament apparatus destruction and suture fixation of IOLs. Materials and methods. 33 patients with traumatic cataract with the lens capsule-ligament apparatus destruction and suture fixation of IOLs aged 22 to 68 years were examined. All patients underwent phacoemulsification of traumatic cataract with IOL implantation using standard technology with a 2.0 mm tunnel incision. The result was evaluated on the first day, first and third months of observation. Results. On the 1st day after the operation the BCVA increased from 0.11±0.12 to 0.43±0.26, the IOP decreased from 21.67±1.5 to 20.97±1.2 mm Hg. By the 3rd month of observation the mean BCVA value was 0.61±0.29, IOP – 19.33±1.0 mm Hg. Conclusion. Traumatic cataract phacoemulsification with implantation and suture fixation of IOL is an effective method of treatment, allowing to achieve not only anatomical, but also a good functional result. Key words: traumatic cataract, phacoemulsification, IOL suture fixation.
