CTRs, manufactured from quality blue or clear PMMA material
The Capsular Tension Rings ( CTRs ), made of Blue or Clear PMMA, assists the cataract surgeon in placing and
to center an intraocular lens, an artificial lens made of PMMA, hydrophilic / hydrophobic acrylic or silicone material,
which has to be implanted to restore the patients vision after the natural lens is removed during cataract surgery.

Implantation
The tension rings offer high flexibility, high memory control and are easy to insert
by the ophthalmic surgeon, either manually or with any available CTR injector.

CTRs appear to be an effective device for improving the outcome of complicated
cataract surgery in eyes with zonular weakness. Implanting a CTR during the
phacoemulsification procedure may reduce:
