Abstract

Purpose: To establish the modifications in techniques for endocapsular ring insertion in subluxated cataract that causes minimal stress to capsulo-zonular complex. Methods: The study population consisted of 29 eyes with various degree of subluxated cataract that underwent endocapsular ring implantation with modified technique followed by phacoemulsification and implantation of intraocular lens (IOL) in the capsular bag.Results: .BCVA 20/40 or better was seen in 26 eyes (92.86%) at final followup. In 2 eyes (7.14%) mild IOL decentration was noted but none were symptomatic and required no intervention. PCO developed in 5 eyes (17.85%); 3 eyes (10.71%) required Nd:YAG capsulotomy. Other complications included cystoid macular edema in 1 eye (3.57%), and mild uveitis in 3 eyes (10.71%).Conclusion: With our modified techniques , we could safely implant the endocapsular rings in subluxated cataract with higher success rate, minimal intraoperative complications and good postoperative outcome.
