ABSTRACT
A 75-year-old woman presented with unexplained ocular hypertension 4 weeks after phacoemulsification. Steroid response was diagnosed initially until a misplaced capsular tension ring (CTR) was identified in the drainage angle. We describe the technique used to successfully remove the CTR from the drainage angle with minimal trauma. This case illustrates the importance of the initial surgical technique used for CTR insertion and emphasizes the role of gonioscopy in such a case.
