  • Capsular equatorial ring
    Patent number: 6319282
    Abstract: After surgical removal of the natural lens, a capsular equatorial ring may be implanted in the opened capsular bag of the eye in order to extend radially the equator of the capsular bag. Surprisingly, with a sharp edged formation of the junctions between the outer circumference and end faces of the ring, or with an axially wide outer circumferential surface, the probability of postoperative migrations of subcapsular epithelium cells on the capsular bag is significantly reduced.
