Purpose:
To analyze the anatomic position of the Morcher capsular tension ring (CTR) by anterior segment ultrasound biomicroscopy.
Setting:
Academic institution.
Methods:
Fourteen pseudophakic eyes (13 patients) with placement of a Morcher CTR during cataract extraction had ultrasound biomicroscopy.
Results:
In all eyes, the CTR had a position between the intraocular lens haptics and the ciliary body without posterior iris touch.
Conclusions:
In this small population of eyes, the Morcher CTR was found to be in a consistent, safe, and stable location in the capsular bag.
