Complications persist after phaco in eyes with pseudoexfoliation and nonsutured CTR implantation
LAS VEGAS — Nonsutured capsular tension ring implantation after phacoemulsification did not prevent capsular or IOL complications in eyes with pseudoexfoliation, according to a study presented here.“Sadly, there is very scarce literature on the postoperative outcomes [of capsular tension rings (CTRs)],” Yan-Ning Neo, MBCHB, said at the American Academy of Ophthalmology annual meeting. “Therefore, we question whether nonsutured CTR implantations prevent postoperative complications in pseudoexfoliation eyes with zonular weakness that underwent phacoemulsification with IOL implantation.”
