Clinical Trial Summary

The IOL-capsular complex is formed after cataract surgery and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.Early postoperative mechanical wrapping of the anterior and posterior capsules plays a significant role in preventing IOL decentration and tilt, as well as formation of the IOL-capsular complex which reduces the incidence of posterior cataract opacity. Capsular tension rings were first introduced in the early 1990s for loosening and tightening the lens bag and maintaining the equatorial contour of the bag after cataract surgery.Today, capsular tension rings of many different designs are in use.The capsular tension rings can be used in eyes with fragile and split zonular fibers, as well as pseudoexfoliation, high myopia, Marfan syndrome, mature cataract and lens subluxation.The capsular tension ring reduces the incidence of decentration and tilt of the IOL by reducing capsular contraction. In addition, multi-focus IOL implantation combine with capsular tension ring result in smaller high-order aberrations in our eyes compared to cataract surgery with multi-focus IOL implantation alone.For patients with high myopia, they often have a longer axial length and a larger capsule diameter, which reduces the rotational stability of the IOL and may lead to tilt ,decentration and displacement of IOL.Currently, there is no literature guidance to compare the results of cataract surgery combined with or without capsular tension ring implantation in patients with high myopia.Our hospital has Swept-source Optical Coherence Tomography ( SS-OCT,Casia2, TOMEY, Japan), which can accurately photograph the process of IOL capsule bending and the changes of lens position after cataract surgery. SS-OCT can be used to evaluate the influence of capsular tension ring on the dynamic changes of IOL-capsular complex in patients with high myopia after cataract surgery.
