In this interview of The Ophthalmologist, Iqbal “Ike” K. Ahmed, MD, FRCSC, presents the key features and some of the surgical pearls of using the Ahmed Capsular Tension Segment (CTS).
Unlike CTRs, this exclusive CTS is used for scleral fixation and indicated for patients with extensive and/or progressive zonular loss.
The CTS can be used in cases where an anterior or posterior capsular tear or a discontinuous capsulorhexis is present, as it does not generate a 360º expansile force. Multiple segments can be used if necessary. The CTS provides support in the area of fixation. It has to be combined with a CTR when circumferential support is required. The CTS may also be used for intraoperative support and removed prior to completion of the surgery.
