Soemmering ring is an annular swelling of the periphery of the lens capsule.[1] In 1828, Detmar Wilhelm Sömmerring observed posterior capsule opacification and then described Soemmering's ring[2][3][4] as deposits of retained equatorial lens epithelial cells which continue to proliferate and form new cortical fibers which eventually form a ring of cortical fibers between the posterior capsule and the edges of the anterior capsule remnant.[5]
