Congenital ectopia lentis is a relatively rare zonular disorder of the lens, and its surgical treatment is extremely challenging. The traditional surgical procedures represented by intraocular lens suspension are prone to result in serious complications such as capsular bag rupture, vitreous hernia, intraocular lens dislocation and secondary glaucoma. In recent years, with the goal of reconstructing the capsular bag–zonules diaphragm, the application of new capsular bag-assisted devices has greatly improved the surgical success rate of congenital ectopia lentis. However, the capsular-assisted devices, such as modified capsular tension ring, are still difficult to be popularized in China and the surgical procedures are complicated. Therefore, how to maximize the use of common equipment such as normal capsular tension rings and design a safe and reliable surgical method for the treatment of congenital ectopia lentis is an urgent issue for ophthalmologists. This article aims to introduce a two-stage capsular tension ring fixation for the treatment of congenital ectopia lentis, which has many advantages such as simple and safe operation, stable postoperative effect and less requirements for special equipment, and is worth promoting in clinical practice.
