There are different methods of IOL fixation in case of inadequate capsular support, one of them being IOL implantation into the ciliary body sulcus. Foldable aspheric Akreos IOLs produced by Bauch&Lomb were implanted in 212 patients, who had had a dystrophic or traumatic crystalline lens subluxation of 3rd degree, luxation into the anterior chamber, post-traumatic aphakia and in those in whom a posterior capsule rupture occurred as a phacoemulsification complication. A method of IOL suturing in the ciliary body sulcus in the absence of capsular support for the foldable IOL implanted through a small incision was worked out. A visual acuity analysis revealed high functional results, in particular in cases of small incision implantations. Among postoperative complications, hemorrhagic ones were observed most often. It was shown that IOL Akre-os AO implantation into the ciliary body sulcus could be used in case of inadequate capsular support.
