Lens
cases of zonular instability, the Cionni M- CTR or the
CTS is indicated. Indications of CTR, M-CTR and CTS
are given in Table 1.
Closed chamber endocapsular phacoemulsification
combined with ECR, in patients with mild to moderate
subluxation of lens not associated with complications
such as secondary glaucoma and retinal detachment,
often gives encouraging visual results. The implantation
of ECR has provided safety and efficiency during
phacoemulsification and IOL implantation, significantly
reduced the rate of complications and overall improved
visual results.
