Abstract
Section titled “Abstract”The lens dislocation (ectopia) is a partial or complete lens displacment from the normal anatomical position to the anterior chamber of an eye or into the vitreous body due to a violation of the integrity of the Zinn ligaments that hold the lens in a normal position. There are two different methods for dislocated lenses removing ― the «open sky» surgery technique or the ultrasonic phacoemulsification. According to results and clinical analysis of the lens dislocation surgery in small pets we have identified that using the «open sky» surgery is the optimal method for lens dislocation surgery in the anterior chamber in aged cats and dogs or pets with severe somatic pathology. Our technique of surgery with performing diamond microsurgery is more efficient and perfect, requires much less time than phacoemulsification. It optimizes the stages of the operation, minimizes complications and significantly improves the results of operations.
