CTD = capsular tension device; CTR = capsular tension ring; CTS = capsular tension segment; IOL = intraocular lens; PCO = posterior capsule opacification; UGH = uveitis–glaucoma–hyphema

*

n = number of eyes in specified group; all analyses were based on available data

Significant probability was associated with Fisher exact test of the null hypothesis that there was no association between CTD type and each complication; the assumption was made that in the overall sample, all operated eyes were independent observations
