Dear Editor,
We thank Sharma [1] for the encouraging comments on our article, [2] "Results of intraocular lens implantation with capsular tension ring in subluxated crystalline or cataractous lenses in children". We agree with the author that in patients with zonular dialysis > 180 degrees, the Cionni-modified capsular tension ring (CTR), with a single or double eyelet inserted and sutured to the sclera, will show better results in terms of centration and long-term stability. [3] We are now inserting the Cionni ring with single or double eyelet in patients with significant subluxation, 120 degrees or more, and performing trans-scleral fixation, for better centration.
