In approximately 2-5% of cases after cataract surgery, a complication associated with damage to the oculomotor nerve may occur - **anophthalmia**. It is noted that the mortality rate for anoxalemia reaches 8%. In some cases, blindness after lens removal may be associated with an underestimation of the severity of changes occurring during surgery, improper patient management, or violation of treatment rules. Treatment outcomes may vary depending on the severity of the disease. In patients with significant opacities of the lens after cataract extraction, optical neuropathy, retinal detachment, and damage to the optic nerve develop. Sometimes a rupture of the posterior pole occurs due to vibration of the axis of the operating microscope and leads to injury to the entire or upper part of the retina. No less important is the cause of developing anophthalmic blindness - postoperative accumulation of blood or effusion into the anterior chamber. This determines the topic of damage to the optic nerve, which is especially vulnerable due to its formation from the curls of the optic canal of the eye. A clinical manifestation of the phenomenon of hypersensitivity to light is possible as a reaction of the visual apparatus to injury to its structures by the peripheral system of the visual analyzer, and in the long term - a complete loss of visual perception. In case of partial loss of vision in the first days after discharge, compensation is possible
