Capsular tension ring implantation during phacoemulsification of lens subluxated

Objective To evaluate the efficiency of capsular tension ring implantation during phacoemulsification of the subluxated lens. Methods Capsular tension ring was implanted in 13 cases (13 eyes) of subluxated lens after continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis during phacoemulsiifcation.The capsular tension ring was necessary to be fixmed on sclera if the luxated area was lager than half of acircle.After the ring was implanted,phacoemulsification was performed and foldable intraocularlens(IOL) was implanted. Results All cases were smoothly implanted capsular tension ring and IOL.After the operations,all cases had improved visual acuity,right position of IOL.No seirous complication happened.Conclusions Capsular tension ring implantation could improve the safety of phacoemulsiifcation. It can prevent the surgerial complications and improve the surgerial effect. Key words: Lens subluxation ;  Capsular tension ring ;  Phacoemulsication ;
