Advances in intraocular prosthetic devices in cataract surgery, such as capsular tension rings, capsular tension devices and capsule support hooks, have helped cataract surgery move to a higher level of surgical excellence. Surgeons can perform safe surgery in the presence of zonular weakness, zonular lysis or capsular instability and safely place a posterior chamber IOL within the capsular tension ring-stabilized capsular bag, with usually a favorable surgical outcome. In the past, such cases could end up with intracapsular cataract extraction and an anterior chamber IOL, an iris-claw IOL, a scleral-fixated (Read more...)
