The authors present results of conventional treatment of a patient with the retinal detachment in the aphakic and pseudophakic eyes. The group consisted of 34 persons: 10 women and 24 men, aged from 40-79 years. Earlier the intracapsular (in 24 eyeballs) and extracapsular (in 3 eyeballs), lens extraction had been performed. The intraocular lens was inserted into 7 eyes. The following surgical technics were performed: cerclage in 16 eyes, screlar invagination in 5 eyes, scleral invagination with an extrascleral implant in 7 eyes, the extrascleral implant alone in 6 eyes. Total retinal reattachment was attained in 85% in aphakic eyes and 100% in pseudophakic eyes.
