    Summary

    This study compared extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) and phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. After 24 months, both methods showed comparable long-term visual outcomes, with no significant difference in incidence between them.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Intraocular Lens Implantation

    Background:

    • Cataract surgery is a common procedure to restore vision.
    • Extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) and phacoemulsification are standard surgical techniques.
    • Comparing long-term outcomes of different cataract surgery methods is crucial for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the long-term incidence of complications after ECCE versus phacoemulsification.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of two-handed posterior chamber technique in both surgical methods.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective study of 141 eyes undergoing cataract surgery.
    • Patients were divided into ECCE (35.5%) and phacoemulsification (64.5%) groups.
    • Follow-up was conducted 24 months post-surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

    Main Results:

    • After 24 months, the incidence was 10% for phacoemulsification and 22% for ECCE.
    • Statistical analysis using Pearson's chi-squared test indicated no significant difference between the groups.
    • Both surgical techniques demonstrated comparable long-term safety profiles.

    Conclusions:

    • Both ECCE and phacoemulsification are effective and safe cataract surgery methods.
    • The choice between ECCE and phacoemulsification may not significantly impact long-term outcomes.
    • Further research may explore specific patient factors influencing outcomes.
