MORCHER Capsular Tension Rings (CTRs) are manufactured from one-piece PMMA and stabilise the capsule in cases of damaged or missing zonules. The rings reduce the risk of damaging the capsule or zonula during surgery as they simplify the implantation of foldable IOLs, due to better centering of the IOL, which is beneficial in cases of future capsular bag shrinkage.

MORCHER's range of capsular rings consists of; capsular tension rings, cionni rings, and capsular ring segments.

MORCHER foldable intraocular lenses are sterile optical medical devices designed to replace or supplement the human crystalline lens. The hydrophilic group of lenses are made of acrylic material that is positioned in the capsular bag or sulcus. Type 92B cannot be injected due to its large optic size, and type 97B is a larger optic lens for highly myopic patients and for a myopic range of power.

The Bag-In-The-Lens (BIL) series of hydrophilic IOLs are for non-routine cataract surgery. These specialist lenses prevent posterior capsular opacification in children and repair posterior capsular opacification in adults. They are designed to prevent negative dysphotopsia, and also reduce postoperative inflammation and synechiae.

Surgeons must partake in a prerequisite training course before implantation of the BIL.
