Abstract

Capsular tension ring (CTR) is endocapsular support device important during cataract surgery in eyes with weak
zonular apparatus. It was presented our experience, advantages and limitations of CTR in phacoemulsifi cation cataract
surgery with damaged zonules. Phacoemulsifi cation surgery was performed by clear corneal technique using topical
anesthesia. Capsular ring was implanted to stabilize the capsular bag before implantation of intraocular lens. CTR has
become increasingly important in the management of zonular weakness during cataract extraction. It lowers the incidence
of capsule contraction, stabilizes the capsular bag and enhances IOL centration.
