A Soemmering ring can turn a familiar postoperative finding into a complex surgical decision.

In this CRST feature, Rhea Narang, MBBS, and Priya Narang, MS, outline how capsule status, IOL position, and visualization can shape the surgical approach. The article walks through scenarios in which the ring may be visible, hidden, adherent, or at risk of posterior migration.

Each step raises a critical question: how do you remove the material while preserving control in a compromised eye?

When is a dislocated IOL–capsular bag complex worth saving?

In this CRST feature, Steven G. Safran, MD, outlines the clinical judgment behind identifying the “Goldilocks complex,” a scenario in which preservation may be considered.

The article examines the balance between capsular bag fibrosis, IOL integrity, lens material, and the patient’s visual history. It also highlights why certain findings can shift the surgical plan toward a different approach. For surgeons managing these increasingly common presentations, the decision is rarely simple.

EPISODE 3 IS LIVE 🎥

Monovision. Mini-monovision. Real-world efficiency.

In Episode 3 of The Vivity Show, Dr. Clayton Blehm joins the conversation to explore when monovision works, when it doesn’t, and how surgeons think about patient comfort, tradeoffs, follow-up cadence, chair time, and satisfaction in a busy clinic.

When the corneal view is compromised, every surgical detail matters.

In this CRST feature, Boris Malyugin, MD, PhD, examines cataract surgery in eyes with corneal opacities, where visualization of the capsule and lens can become a central challenge.

The discussion focuses on practical strategies to improve the surgeon’s view, including microscope light adjustment, supplemental illumination, capsular staining, and pupil expansion. A key technique brings retroillumination into the spotlight, offering a different way to approach cases in which the anterior segment view is limited.

How would you optimize visualization before proceeding in a complex case like this?

A white cataract may look deceptively calm under the microscope.

In this case, trypan blue staining revealed early signs that the anterior capsule was under tension, with fibrosis hidden beneath the surface. What followed required deliberate visualization, controlled decompression, and careful stepwise dissection to preserve surgical control.

The case also underscores how quickly a seemingly routine maneuver can become more complex when capsular and zonular integrity are in question. How would you approach the first move when the capsule is fragile, fibrotic, and unpredictable?

When a platform is built around the manifest refraction, that is not a small detail. It is a meaningful step forward in how refractive surgery can be planned and performed.

Hear why Dr. George O. Waring IV sees this as one of TENEO™’s most significant contributions to the profession.
