In recent years, the incidence of high myopia complicated with cataract shows a gradual upward trend. Due to the special anatomical structure and lesion nature of high myopia, the difficulty and various complications of such patients are much higher than those of ordinary cataract surgery. With the continuous advancement of design and materials, the indications for capsular tension ring(CTR)have gradually expanded. Especially for patients with high myopia,it can maintain the stability of intraocular lens position, assist the relaxation of the suspensory ligament, inhibit the migration and proliferation of residual lens epithelial cells after surgery, improve the visual quality of patients and reduce the incidence of retinal detachment. This paper reviewed the history of CTR, its clinical application, and the effect of CTR on high myopia complicated with cataract.
