Brief Summary

**Titleof Study:**A prospective,controlled randomized, comparative, singlecenter, clinical study to evaluate performance and safetyof implanted Capsular Tension Ring (CTR) and CTR delivery system.

**Objectives:**

Primary Objectives:

To evaluate the performance of Capsular Tension Ring(CTR) against controlled group (without CTR) to check clinical outcome ofrefractive prediction error.

SecondaryObjectives:

For Capsular Tension Ring:

·      To evaluatethe performance of Capsular Tension Ring against controlled group (without CTR)to check clinical outcome of visual acuity.

·      To evaluatesafety of Capsular Tension Ring implanted group and controlled group (withoutCTR).

ForDelivery System:

To check the safety and performance of two delivery systems for CTRimplant.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1)Refraction - Refractive prediction error - Measured as subjective refraction. Both spherical and astigmatism shall be measured by using phoropter.Time Frame: Pre-operative, 90 Days Post- operative surgery
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1)Visual Acuity-UDVA - The visual acuity upto 90 ± 7 days post- operative surgery, measured in LogMAR. LogMAR is the "logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution". A lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity. Visual acuity measured by ETDRS chart.2)Visual Acuity- BCDVA - The visual acuity upto 90 ± 7 days post- operative surgery, measured in LogMAR. LogMAR is the "logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution". A lower logMAR value indicates better visual acuity. Visual acuity measured by ETDRS chart.
