Extracapsular cataract extraction is a surgical procedure used to remove a cataract that has become too advanced for phacoemulsification. During ECCE, the surgeon makes a larger incision in the eye to remove the cloudy lens manually while leaving the back portion of the lens capsule intact.
Phacoemulsification cataract surgery, also known as "phaco," is typically recommended for patients with early to moderately advanced cataracts. This minimally invasive procedure involves using ultrasound energy to break up the cataract into small pieces, which are then suctioned out through a tiny incision in the eye.
Small incision cataract surgery (SICS) offers several benefits compared to traditional extracapsular cataract extraction. With SICS, the incision size is smaller, leading to faster healing and reduced risk of complications such as astigmatism. Additionally, SICS requires less time in surgery and allows for quicker visual recovery for patients.
The choice of cataract surgery technique depends on various factors, including the patient's overall eye health, the severity of the cataract, and the surgeon's preference and expertise. While phacoemulsification is the most common and preferred method due to its minimally invasive nature, extracapsular cataract extraction and small incision cataract surgery may be suitable alternatives for certain patients.
The recovery process after cataract surgery typically involves wearing an eye patch or protective shield for a short period, using prescribed eye drops to prevent infection and reduce inflammation, and attending follow-up appointments with the surgeon to monitor healing and address any concerns. Most patients experience improved vision within a few days to weeks after surgery.
