Background: Ectopia lentis is a condition that compromises vision in childhood by inducing either double vision or aphakic visual axis. Correction of lens status is of prime importance to prevent amblyopia or sensory strabismus.
Purpose: Placing an intraocular lens (IOL) in the bag in such cases will maintain aqueous vitreous barrier but it is a difficult task.This video demonstrates the method of placing modified Cionni capsular tension ring (CTR) and placement of IOL in children.
Synopsis: This video shows the management of multiple cases of ectopia lentis with more than 180 degree subluxation. Making intact rhexis is crucial and technically difficult in such cases. The way of making a proper capsulorhexis is shown. After making capsulorhexis, all the cases were managed with single loop Cionni CTR. Cionni CTR has a loop with a anterior offset of 0.4 mm to override the anterior capsule. It has two designs - right and left design, based on the position of islet in the CTR. Since the offset of the hook is tiny, there are high chances to flip the Cionni CTR. If the Cionni CTR is placed in a flipped manner, it would not give effective pull of the bag, when fixated to sclera. And also, it could be traumatic to explant and place in correct manner. Hence it is vital to place the Cionni CTR in correct orientation, so that anterior offset will orient anteriorly. This video gives guidance to the viewers about the correct way of placing different designs of Cionni CTR in different types of subluxation.Timing of passing sutures through sclera may be done either before or after placing the Cionni CTR in the bag. Both the ways are demonstrated in different cases.
Highlights: Different technique of doing Cionni CTR fixation with IOL placement are demonstrated. Surgeons who wish to try this procedure can choose the option that they feel comfortable with. We conclude that choice of Cionni CTR design and technique of placement depends on surgeon's choice and not based on the type of subluxation.

Visual Outcomes in Ectopia Lentis in Marfan Syndrome: A Study of Four Surgical Techniques in Children and Adults.

: To evaluate how the surgical technique and type of implanted intraocular lens influence the postoperative visual acuity and complications in ectopia lentis associated to Marfan syndrome patients. : The medical records and videos of ectopia lentis surgeries in patients (children and adults) with Marfan syndrome, were retrospectively reviewed and compared. The study included 33 eyes that underwent four different intraocular lens implantation (IOL) techniques: IOL in conjunction with a simple capsular tension ring, IOL in conjunction with a Cionni modified capsular tension ring (m-CTR), two-point scleral IOL fixation and IOL with one haptic in the bag and one haptic sutured to the sclera.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of three different methods of intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in the surgery of subluxated cataracts.
Methods: In this retrospective, comparative, clinical interventional study, the medical records of patients who underwent IOL implantation with sutureless 27-gauge needle-assisted transconjunctival intrascleral (Group 1), Z-suture knotless transscleral (Group 2), and Cionni capsular tension ring (Cionni-CTR) assisted (Group 3) simultaneously with subluxated cataract extraction between June 2010 and June 2022 were evaluated. Demographic characteristics, follow-up times, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), spherical and cylindrical refractive values, and spherical equivalent (SE) values of three groups were compared.

Aim: To investigate the effect of Cionni-modified capsular tension ring (CTR) implantation in patients with severely traumatic subluxated cataracts.
Methods: All patients who totally had traumatic cataracts and lost zonule support and underwent cataract surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), extent of zonulysis, intraocular lens (IOL) position, intraoperative presentation, and complications were assessed.

Objective: To investigate the clinical outcomes of three surgical approaches for ectopia lentis in Marfan syndrome (MS) patients who had undergone crystalline lens removal with posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation techniques comprising the intrascleral fixation of IOL, sutured scleral fixation of IOL, and IOL implantation with the use of a Cionni capsular tension ring (CTR).
Methods: This is a retrospective comparative study, including 35 eyes of 21 patients who underwent the intrascleral fixation of IOL (group 1), scleral IOL fixation with the Z-suture (group 2), and IOL implantation with the use of a Cionni CTR (group 3) following crystalline lens removal. The surgical indications were as follows: no improvement in visual function after eyeglasses or contact lens application due to excessive irregular astigmatism and advanced crystalline lens decentration in which the edge of the crystalline lens came up to the optical axis, or dislocation of the crystalline lens resulting in aphakia and secondary glaucoma due to lens dislocation.
