Effect of capsular tension ring implantation during phacoemulsification on postoperative refraction.

Purpose: To assess refractive outcomes of phacoemulsification (PE) with additional capsular tension ring (CTR) implantation.

Material And Methods: In total, 37 eyes of 37 patient who underwent PE with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were divided into 2 groups: study group (n = 18) with CTR co-implantation (inclusion criteria was preoperative irido-phacodonesis) and control group (n = 19) without CTR. Optical biometry (IOL-Master 500) was performed for each patient before PE.
