Description of Extracapsular Cataract Extraction:

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.
