Description of Extracapsular Cataract Extraction:

What is Extracapsular Cataract Extraction?
Extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) is a type of eye cataract surgery. During ECCE the eye’s lens is removed and the elastic capsule covering the lens is left partially in place to implant an intraocular lens (IOL).

About Extracapsular Cataract Extraction

Key facts to plan your treatment: how long it takes, your hospital stay, anaesthesia, risks and recovery.

Days admitted
The procedure is commonly done as an outpatient procedure.
Anesthesia
- Local anesthesia
- General anesthesia may be used if the surgery is required for children and adults with specific medical or psychiatric conditions.
Recovery
- The sutures are removed in 6 weeks after the surgery. - Before the patient is discharged, some medications may be placed in the patient’s operated eye. - Complete recovery of the operated eye may take up to 3 months or sooner.
Risks
- Edema, i.e. swelling of the cornea - Rise in intraocular pressure (IOP) - Uveitis, i.e. inflammation of the uvea, which is a tissue layer containing the iris. - Infection - Hyphema, which is bleeding inside the interior chamber of the eye - Incision rupture and leakage - Tear in the retina - IOL mal-positioning - Cystoid macular edema (CME)
After care
- The patient should avoid bending and lifting heavy objects. - Normal activities can be carried out after a day or two. - The patient may need to wear regular eye glasses during the day and an eye shield over the operated eye at night. - Wearing sunglasses are recommended during bright days and to protect the operated eye against rubbing and bumping. - The patient needs to use eye drops as directed by the doctor for one to two weeks after the surgery to prevent infection, and to lessen pain and swelling. - The patient needs to check the regular eyeglasses to find out if the lens prescription needs to be changed. - Regular follow-up check ups are scheduled for several weeks.
