Purpose
To evaluate long term results of phacoemulsification with PC IOL and capsular tension ring (CTR) implantation in lens subluxation.

Material and methods
The study comprised of 134 patients – 146 eyes with subluxated lens. In all cases phacoemulsification with PC IOL and CTR implantation was performed.

Results
No intaroperative complications has occured. Postoperative complications included: inflammation in the anterior chamber in 3 eyes (2.1%), retinal detachment in 2 eyes (1.4%). In all cases there was no PC IOL decentration.

Conclusions
1. CTR facilitates phacoemulsification with PC IOL implantation in lens subluxation. 2. Phacoemulsification of subluxated lens with PC IOL and CTR implantation seems to be safe and effective
