The article presents the results of UBM studies of patients with anterior capsular contraction syndrome (CS). Purpose. Тo use the UBM method to study the state of the ciliary body (CB) and the capsular bag of the lens in patients with CS. Material and methods. The study included 42 patients with capsular CS. The UBM HI-scan ultrasound biomicroscope (Optikon, Italy) was used. Results. The reduction of the capsule bag of the lens was accompanied by a significant decrease in the diameter of the anterior capsulotomy opening, IOL decentration and its displacement towards the posterior pole of the eye, stretching or damage to the zonula ciliaris, and an increase in the CB thickness. In 2 cases, ruptures of the CB and its separation from the place of attachment to the radix iridis were recorded. Conclusion. UBM is an effective assessment method for CS, which allows us to study the state of the capsule bag of the lens and CB, evaluate the effectiveness of laser treatment and predict the risks associated with a high probability of complications. Key words: capsular contraction syndrome, anterior capsule, lens, laser, UBM, ciliary body.
