[Methods of capsular and intracapsular microsurgery, intracapsular implantation and sutureless fixation of artificial lenses].

The author recommends mastering the methods of capsular and intracapsular microsurgery for cataracts on cadaver eyes. He advises to remove the cornea and the iris to have a better view of the technique. As the physician masters the technique, he screens the lens sac equatorial area by keeping the iris and later the cornea (to make the conditions as close to clinical surgery as possible) and then removes the iris and the cornea for controlling the quality of the capsular pocket preparation. Artificial lenses similar in shape to B. N. Alexeev's design may be implanted in the prepared lens sac; then the anterior capsule of the lower capsular pocket in the central area is removed. The training may be completed by removal of the anterior capsule alone, i.e. by extracapsular extraction. The described methodology helps more rapidly master the techniques of capsular and intracapsular microsurgery and intracapsular implantation of artificial lenses and thus promotes a wide practical employment of these microsurgical techniques.
