Three Approatches


1) extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE)-partial removal of the capsule, most common method.
2) Intracapsular cataract extraction (ICCE)- removal of lens & surrounding lens capsule-removes cataract in 1 piece.
3) Phacoemulsification-disolves the hard nucleaus by ultrasound, then removes the soft cortex in multiple pieces.
