Endocapsular fixation of intraocular lens in patients with ectopia lentis and Marfan syndrome (case study)

Modern trends in advancement of phaco surgery techniques in patients with ectopia lentis (including patients with Marfan syndrome) are characterized by the transition from complete removal of the lens (lensectomy) to aspiration of the lens substance and attempts to preserve and reposition the capsular bag. This case study analyzes the results of surgical treatment of bilateral ectopia lentis in a 6-year-old patient with Marfan syndrome. The specifics of microinvasive phaco surgery consisted in capsular bag preservation and endocapsular fixation of the intraocular lens. The article presents the results of ophthalmological observation over a seven-year period.
