Endocapsular cataract extraction versus conventional extracapsular cataract extraction

ABSTRACT

The operative and postoperative findings of endocapsular cataract extraction were compared to conventional E.C.C.E. The anterior capsulotomy in the upper part of the anterior capsule of the lens was much easier and less complicated than 0 shaped capsulectomy of the conventional E.C.C.E. Lens nucleus delivery needed less counter pressure and corneal touch was avoided in endocapsular method. Cleaning of cortical remnant within the capsular bag was more complete and with reduced chance of posterior capsule rupture.Postoperative striate keratitis, uveitis secondary glaucoma were less in endocapsular surgery
