Enhancing toric IOLs rotational stability in high myopia using a 2L Cionni ring

We present the technique used in a patient with high myopia in order to obtain rotational stability of a plated-haptic multifocal toric intraocular lens (AT LISA tri toric 939MP, ZEISS). Both patient ’s eyes had long axial lengths and large capsular bags. The first operated eye suffered from consecutive toric intraocular lens (IOL) malpositions. In the fellow eye toric IOL alignment was preserved by implanting a type 2L Cionni capsular tension ring. This was reversely inserted so the two eyele ts, which are positioned slightly anterior to the ring, pressed the IOL on the posterior capsule.
