Abstract

The study was conducted to establish the modifications in techniques for endocapsular ring insertion and its scleral fixation in subluxated cataract that causes minimal stress to capsulo-zonular complex. The study population consisted of 29 eyes with various degree of subluxated cataract that underwent endocapsular ring implantation with techniques modified by us followed by phacoemulsification and implantation of intraocular lens (IOL) in the capsular bag. Mean degree of subluxation was 140 ± 66 degree. We could implant the intended endocapsular ring in 28 out of 29 eyes (96.55%).BCVA 20/40 or better was seen in 26 eyes (92.86%) at final followup.To Conclude, with our modified techniques for endocapsular ring insertion and its scleral fixation, we could smoothy and safely implant the endocapsular rings in subluxated cataract with higher success rate, minimal intraoperative complications and good postoperative outcome.
