Soemmering ring is a known form of after-cataract consisting of retained epithelial lens cells which have proliferated to form a ring of cortical fibers in the capsular periphery.

Soemmering ring is an annular swelling of the periphery of the lens capsule. [1]

Dec 20, 2023 · Soemmering's ring is a deposit of retained equatorial lens epithelial cells which continue to proliferate and form new cortical fibers and eventually form a ring of cortical fibers between the posterior capsule and the edges of the anterior capsule remnant.

Soemmering first observed posterior capsule opacification in 1928 and described Soemmering's ring as deposits of retained equatorial lens epithelial cells which continue to proliferate and form new cortical fibers which eventually form a ring of cortical fibers between the posterior capsule and the edges of the anterior capsule remnant.[1,2] An ...

Consider artificial lens implantation or contact lens. Aphakic glasses as an option in bilateral aphakias. Learn more about Aphakia and Soemmering's Ring Formation.

Soemmering rings: rings of residual LECs and cortical fibers that form between the posterior capsule and the edges of the anterior capsule remnant. These are often too peripheral to cause visual symptoms, but they can cause glare and visual loss if severe.

A Soemmering's ring attached to a patient's I.O.L. was removed and processed for SEM-examination. The enveloping structure of the Soemmering's ring was clearly of capsular origin, adherent along a single line and forming an envelope around the inner material.

Soemmering’s ring is formed as a result of the adhesion of anterior capsule edges to the posterior capsule in the absence of an intraocular lens, and its posterior dislocation is common in those with myopia.

Feb 19, 2021 · Our guest surgeon, Dr Val Apostolov from Amsterdam, is a frequent contributor to CataractCoach and today he shows us a case of Soemmering's Ring extraction and then a bonus video segment of...

Aug 5, 2020 · A Soemmering ring is caused by retained lens material or the proliferation of lenticular epithelial cells. After cataract surgery, the adhesion of anterior and posterior capsular leaflets at the capsular periphery may occur and lead to …
