    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Cataract surgery is a common procedure to restore vision.
    • Extracapsular extraction is a widely used technique.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the visual outcomes and complications of extracapsular extraction with posterior chamber lens implantation in 444 aphakic eyes.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of this surgical approach in an elderly population.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of 444 aphakic eyes undergoing extracapsular extraction.
    • Insertion of posterior chamber intraocular lenses.
    • Assessment of visual acuity, hospitalization duration, and complication rates.

    Main Results:

    • 93.5% of patients aged 70+ achieved visual acuity of 6/12 (20/40) or better.

  • Short hospitalization and rapid visual recovery were observed.
  • Low incidence of complications, with peripheral iridectomy often unnecessary.
  • A 9% incidence of needling procedures, increasing to 16% with longer follow-up.

    • Conclusions:

    • Extracapsular extraction with posterior chamber lens implantation provides satisfactory visual outcomes in elderly patients.
    • The procedure offers rapid visual rehabilitation and a lower risk of cystoid macular edema and retinal detachment.
    • The advantages of this technique, including rapid recovery and good visual results, outweigh the disadvantage of secondary needling procedures.
