Purpose: This study was conducted to develop a new optimized phacoemulsification technique for Morgagnian cataract taking into account the anatomical and topographic parameters of the lens nucleus.
Material And Methods: A working classification of Morgagnian cataract was developed based on the size of the nucleus: if the edge of the nucleus is visualized at the upper edge of the pupil or between the upper edge and the middle of the pupil, it was classified as an initial stage of Morgagnian cataract with a large nucleus; if the upper edge of the nucleus is visualized in the middle of the pupil and below, it was classified as an advanced stage of Morgagnian cataract with a small nucleus. The first group included six patients who underwent surgery using the scaffold technique with removal of the whole small nucleus into the anterior chamber.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of senile cataracts and its detection rate among the population at the age of 40 and older with diseases of the cardiovascular system.
Material And Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was based on the information extracted from electronic health records (EHR) of patients aged 40-99 years assigned for medical services to a city polyclinic.
Results: Among the population with essential hypertension (EH) senile cataract occurs with the frequency of 10.
Purpose: To optimize the technique of intumescent cataract phacoemulsification by involving the use of femtosecond lasers.
Material And Methods: Group 1 included 29 patients (30 eyes) with mature intumescent cataract, who underwent femtolaser-assisted phacoemulsification using a new, optimized technique. Group 2 included 20 patients (20 eyes), in whom the femtolaser stage was performed using the standard technique.
Unlabelled: Purpose - to optimize the process of phacoemulsification in patients with cataract complicated by degree I-II lens subluxation by using the scaffold technique, and to determine the indications for its application.
Material And Methods: The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 - the main group - included 29 patients (29 eyes; 47.54%) who underwent cataract phacoemulsification with implantation of iris retractors and capsular ring using the scaffold technique.
Unlabelled: According to a prospective review study by H. Gimbel, A. Willerscheidt (1993), among 2967 cataract cases analyzed in 1991, mature intumescent cataract was observed in 34 (1.

Thus, determination of the intralenticular pressure value is of great importance for safe intumescent cataract phacoemulsification.
Purpose: To develop a technology for intralenticular pressure measurement in patients with intumescent cataract and to construct a mathematical model for its prognosis according to preoperative examination data.
Intumescent cataract surgery is one of the topical problems of ophthalmology. The article reviews methods of intumescent cataract diagnostics and structural features of swelling lens. Manual or femtolaser-assisted anterior continuous circular capsulorhexis and intumescent cataract phacoemulsification techniques require further research.

In primary congenital glaucoma, the main reason for visual acuity reduction following surgical stabilization of the intraocular pressure are corneal changes. These include an increased corneal diameter, Haab's striae, areas of thickening and a greater posterior elevation.

Material And Methods: Two groups were formed. Group 1 consisted of 52 patients with mature intumescent cataract, in whom a two-stage capsulorhexis was performed with lenticular masses removed from the anterior and posterior capsular bag compartments in between the two stages.
