    Abstract:
    Results of removal of a transparent lens in high myopia are analyzed. The operation was performed in two stages according to V. S. Belyaev and T. S. Ilyina. The second stage of the operation (lens extraction) was performed by the extracapsular method, which prevented vitreous prolapse into the anterior chamber in all cases and ruled out the possibility of detachment of the posterior plate of the vitreous and retina. Simple technique of the operation, good remote results, no need in expensive instruments or equipment recommend this operation for any ophthalmological department performing extracapsular cataract extractions.
