Implantation of a capsular tension ring was shown in a study to reduce IOL decentration and tilt in highly myopic eyes with an axial length of 30 mm or longer.
In addition to improving IOL stability, capsular tension ring (CTR) implantation also resulted in higher prediction accuracy, better visual quality and patient satisfaction.
The study was conducted at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center in Guangzhou, China, and included 186 patients with high myopia, defined as an axial length (AL) of 26 mm or longer, randomly assigned one-to-one to undergo cataract surgery with or without CTR (275001G,
