Capsular tension ring placement is a surgical procedure used to stabilize the lens capsule, the structure that holds the intraocular lens (IOL) after cataract surgery. The procedure involves inserting a small, flexible ring into the lens capsule to prevent it from collapsing, which can cause dislocation of the IOL and lead to visual complications.

Capsular tension rings are commonly used in patients with weakened or damaged lens capsules due to factors like trauma, age, or certain eye conditions. The ring helps maintain the stability of the IOL and ensures better long-term outcomes.

This procedure is highly effective in preventing IOL dislocation, offering improved vision stability and reducing the need for additional corrective surgeries.
