The insertion of capsular tension rings to stabilize the capsular bag along all steps of the phacoemulsification is an option, although can be difficult to remove intra- or post-operatively. A capsular tension ring with a thread is a safe alternative, which allows its easy removal at the end of the surgery.Patients and methods: Retrospective study of regular practice on 14 patients with zonular weakness who underwent phacoemulsification. Among them, 12 suffered from pseudo-exfoliative syndrome and 2 suffered from a post-traumatic cataract. All benefited from the use of a capsular tension ring with a thread during their surgery.Results: All surgeries were successful. Capsular tension ring with a thread was all removed at the end of surgery without any complication.Conclusion: The addition of a thread to the capsular tension ring is a simple modification that enhances its use by facilitating its intraoperative removal if necessary or at the end of surgery.Keywords: weak zonule, capsular bag, cataract, posterior dislocation, trick  Oudjani NRenault DCourrier EMalek YDove Medical Pressarticleweak zonulecapsular bagcataractposterior dislocationtrickOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 13, Pp 2301-2304 (2019)
