Rings
Ophthalmic fixation rings are essential support devices used to stabilize the globe during complex ocular procedures. Ophthalmic rings play a critical role in maintaining eye position in cataract and anterior segment surgery offering enhanced control during phacoemulsification. Flieringa rings are commonly applied in open-sky procedures to preserve scleral integrity and prevent collapse. Widely used designs also include the Thornton ring to hold the eyeball steady, preventing movement for precision during incisions and lens work.
