About this trial
This is a self-controlled randomized clinical trial to investigate the effect of capsular tension ring (CTR) implantation on intraocular lens (IOL) position in cataract patients with retinitis pigmentosa(RP). Each patient will receive CTR implantation in one eye, with the fellow eye serving as control. Postoperative outcomes, including visual acuity, IOL position, and postoperative complications will be compared between eyes.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
