Abstract
We describe a capsular tension ring (CTR) insertion technique that is a modification of the previously described fishtail technique. A suture line is used to pull the leading eyelet out through the main incision to form the fish configuration. Similar to the fishtail technique, this insertion technique minimizes the risk for zonular damage or a capsule tear because the CTR is not dialed into the capsular bag. The advantage of the suture line is that it prevents over bending of the CTR during insertion through the main incision, which can occur using the traditional fishtail technique. Neither author has a financial or proprietary interest in any material or method mentioned.
