CONT

Depuis quelques années, la phacoémulsification a acquis la fiabilité d'une bonne technique d'extraction extra-capsulaire de la cataracte, notamment en raison du développement des produits viscoélastiques permettant un maintien de la profondeur de la chambre antérieure et la protection de l'endothélium.

OBS

L'EEC du cristallin représente aujourd'hui la méthode de choix de l'extraction du cristallin. [...] Différentes techniques peuvent être utilisées : technique du «timbre-poste», technique de l'«enveloppe», capsulorhexis. [...] L'EEC est souvent suivie de la mise en place d'un implant de chambre postérieure.
