I have had the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial involving the use of the
Morcher Capsular Tension Ring in patients with glaucoma undergoing cataract
surgery.
The Morcher Capsular Tension Ring was implanted successfully within the
capsular bag in nine eyes in seven patients over a one year period.
These patients had angle closure glaucoma, angle recession glaucoma, and open angle glaucoma. Two patients
presented with loose zonules of unknown etiology.
This poster will review our indications for useof the Morcher Capsular
Tension Ring, the tech-nique and
instrumentation which we recommend
and our results to date.
