Abstract

An improved endocapsular tension ring (36) and method of implanting same in a capsular bag (12) of a human eye (14). In one aspect of the invention, the improved endocapsular tension ring (10) includes an open-ended loop (36) formed of biocompatible material that is constructed to be resilient to compression in the radial direction within the capsular bag (12) to prevent shrinkage of the capsular bag (12) during and after intraocular surgery. The improved endocapsular tension ring (10) includes a plurality of anchoring points (40, 41) placed along the open loop extension allowing to transitorily place an inward bending element in the form of a running arc (72) or chord (48) during insertion of the capsular ring (10) into the eye (14). Methods and devices for implanting the improved endocapsular tension ring (10) in the capsular bag of a human eye are also disclosed.
