Capsular tension ring assisted phacoemulsification of morgagnian cataract.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe a novel technique of phacoemulsification in morgagnian cataract using capsular tension ring (CTR).

Methods

This was a retrospective, non-comparative, clinical interventional study. Patients with hypermature morgagnian cataract who had undergone CTR-assisted phacoemulsification were included in the study. After capsulorhexis, CTR was inserted in a clockwise manner to stabilize the capsular bag in each case. Phacoemulsification was then performed using either horizontal chopping or vertical chopping. We have used the CTR in these cases without any obvious lens subluxation in order to perform safe emulsification of the nuclear pieces in the capsular bag. We have performed the procedure successfully in eleven eyes with hypermature morgagnian cataract.
