The capsular bag is a transparent, elastic membrane that encases the eye's natural lens, playing a crucial role in maintaining lens position and accommodating focus. During cataract surgery, the capsular bag is often preserved to hold the artificial intraocular lens, ensuring stability and optimal visual outcomes.
