Capsular Tension Ring Implantation for Intraocular Lens Decentration and Tilt in Highly Myopic Eyes: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Capsular tension rings (CTRs) can support weak zonules and inhibit capsular shrinkage, thus potentially reducing intraocular lens (IOL) decentration and tilt. However, it has been debated whether CTRs can reduce IOL decentration and tilt in highly myopic eyes and whether CTR implantation is necessary for all highly myopic eyes.

Objective

To evaluate the influence of CTR implantation on IOL decentration and tilt in highly myopic eyes.

Design, setting, and participants

This randomized clinical trial was conducted between November 2021 and September 2023 at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Guangzhou, China. Patients with cataract and an axial length (AL) of 26 mm or longer were enrolled.

Interventions

Participants were stratified into 3 groups based on
