Provided herein are devices used to reconstruct a natural lens capsule after a cataract surgery. The devices utilize substantially ring-shaped rigid and flexible components to contact the posterior and anterior surfaces of a capsule after cataract surgery to reconstruct capsular shape. Also provided are devices for tensioning a capsule after a cataract surgery. An elastic ring-like body is shaped to secure the rim of a capsulorhexis in a clip-like configuration. Alternatively the elastic ring-like body is formed with a lower component that depends from the body and a flexible ring-shaped body extending from the lower component similarly to the rigid and flexible components of the capsule reconstructing device.
