ECCE with IOL Catract Surgery
Start from 72,000 THB | Expiry Date 31 March 2025
ECCE involves a larger incision to remove the cloudy lens in one piece. It's often used for advanced cataracts or when Phaco isn't suitable. Recovery takes longer, typically a few weeks, due to the larger incision

The ECCE procedure:
Incision: The surgeon makes a larger incision in the cornea.
Lens Removal: The front part of the lens capsule is removed, and the cloudy lens is carefully extracted in one piece.
IOL Implantation: An artificial lens, called an intraocular lens (IOL), is placed inside the eye to replace the focusing power of the natural lens.
Closure: The incision is closed with sutures.
ECCE is a safe and effective procedure, but it has some drawbacks compared to newer techniques like phacoemulsification. The larger incision in ECCE means that recovery time is longer, and there is a higher risk of complications such as astigmatism.
While ECCE was once the standard procedure for cataract surgery, it is now less common due to the development of phacoemulsification, which uses a smaller incision and has a faster recovery time. However, ECCE may still be used in certain situations, such as when the cataract is very dense or when other eye conditions make phacoemulsification difficult.
If you are considering cataract surgery, consult our ophthalmologist for suitable treatment approach.
