<p>A flexible ring having a diameter suitable for an anterior chamber rhexis. Imbedded in the ring is a heating element or filament. Alternatively, the ring may contain a pair of adjacent, circular electrodes. The electrodes or heating filament are placed against the anterior capsule and electrical current is applied, causes localized heating around the electrodes or filament. The flexible nature of the ring and electrodes allow the ring to be folded so as to pass through a relatively small (<3 mm) incision, yet retain its full ring-shape once within the anterior chamber of the eye.</p> |
