The method that treats cataract includes which kinds

1. Intracapsular cataract extraction: it is a kind of operation to remove the turbid lens completely from the eye. Because the lens capsule was removed at the same time, posterior chamber intraocular lens could not be implanted at the same time. 　　

2. Phacoemulsification: This is the latest type of cataract surgery. The nucleus of lens was smashed into chylous shape by ultrasound, and then aspirated together with the cortex. After the operation, the posterior capsule of lens was preserved, and the chamber intraocular lens could be implanted at the same time. 　　

3. Extracapsular cataract extraction: extracapsular cataract extraction is different from the old extracapsular cataract extraction. It needs to be operated under the operating microscope. The incision is smaller than that of intracapsular cataract extraction. The turbid lens nucleus is expelled and the cortex is sucked out, but the posterior capsule is left. The posterior capsule was preserved and the posterior chamber intraocular lens could be implanted at the same time. Therefore, extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) has become a routine method of cataract surgery.
