    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Cataract surgery, specifically extracapsular lens extraction, is a common procedure.
    • The availability of simple, cost-effective surgical methods is crucial for widespread adoption in various clinical settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel and simplified surgical technique for extracapsular lens extraction.
    • To highlight the use of inexpensive and commonly available instruments for the procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a bent 25-gauge needle as an irrigating cystotome.
    • Performed a 100-degree superior clear corneal incision.
    • Employed a muscle hook for nuclear expression without cortical cleanup.
    • Closed the incision with interrupted 9-0 nylon sutures.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique is simple and effective for extracapsular lens extraction.
    • The procedure relies on instruments that are inexpensive and readily available in most ophthalmology departments or research laboratories.

    Conclusions:

    • This simplified extracapsular lens extraction technique offers a practical and economical approach.
    • The method is suitable for both clinical practice and ophthalmic research settings due to its accessibility and efficacy.
