Abstract

The article focuses on traumatic lens subluxation and dislocation. An overview of the disorder is provided along with the criticalness of preoperative evaluation of zonular stability. The use of capsular support devices and the choice of appropriate intraocular lens (IOL) for implantation are cited as surgical approaches to mitigate the complications from traditional phacoemulsification. A wide range of capsular support devices are presented including capsular tension rings (CTRs), modified CTRs, capsular tension segments, and capsular support hooks.
