COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF ULTRASONIC PHACOEMULSIFICATION OF CATARACT USING OPTIMIZED ANTICAPSULAR MECHANICAL PHACOFRAGMENTATION AND ULTRASONIC PHACOEMULSIFICATION OF THE CATARACT WITH THE METHOD OF «DIVIDE AND CONQUER»

Abstract

The aim of the study is to assess the effectiveness of the method of endocapsular mechanical phacofragmentation during ultrasound phacoemulsification. A comparative analysis of phacoemulsification operations with optimized endocapsular mechanical phacofragmentation and the «divide and conquer» technique has been carried out. Ultrasonic cataract phacoemulsification with optimized endocapsular mechanical phacofragmentation was performed on 124 eyes of varying degrees of density according to Buratto's classification at the Dordoy Ophthalmic Service medical center. With an observation period of up to a month, good visual functions and the absence of serious complications were observed in all eyes. The analysis showed that ultrasonic phacoemulsification with optimized endocapsular mechanical phacofragmentation has several advantages over the «divide and conquer» method of ultrasonic phacoemulsification.
