Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the outcomes of using a modified capsular tension ring (CTR) and posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) in patients suffering from traumatic cataracts with lost zonular support.
- Sixteen patients underwent surgery, showing significant improvement in corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) from an average of 0.89 logMAR pre-surgery to 0.33 logMAR post-surgery.
- The results indicated that the modified CTR effectively maintained IOL position, minimized complications (with only 50% experiencing posterior capsule opacification), and improved patient visual outcomes.
