ABSTRACT
Eye injuries account for 10-15% of all eye diseases. The Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology is used to standardize them. Trauma can damage cornea, sclera, iris, lens or even the entire eyeball. Moreover, trauma is the most common cause of lens subluxation, which requires surgical supply. In such a case, choosing an adequate, effective treatment method is necessary. In the Ophthalmology Department of the Military Institute of Medicine, the proprietary method of sutureless fixation of the capsular bag–intraocular lens complex using a capsule tension ring and iris retractors is used.
