Capsular Segments for scleral fixation are created for patients with extensive and/or progressive zonular loss. The partial PMMA ring segment traces a 120° arc with a radius of 4.5 or 5.0 mm and an anteriorly positioned fixation eyelet.

Unlike the Capsular Tension Rings , the Capsular Segments can be used in cases where a discontinuous capsulorhexis, an anterior capsule tear, or a posterior capsule tear is present, as it does not generate a 360° expansile force. Multiple Capsular Segments can be used if necessary.

The Capsular Segment provides support in the area of fixation and should be combined with a Capsular Tension Ring when circumferential support is required. The Capsular Segment may also be used for intraoperative support and removed prior to completion of the surgery.
