A capsular tension ring is a small, circular implant placed inside the eye’s natural lens capsule to provide structural support. Used during cataract surgery or lens replacement, it helps maintain the shape of the capsule when the natural fibers (zonules) holding it in place are weak or missing, ensuring proper positioning of the artificial lens.
These devices are typically single-use, sterile implants made from materials like plastic. They are classified as medical devices and are supplied with dedicated insertion tools, though regulations vary by country. Always check local guidelines before use or procurement.
