Types of Cataract & Cataract Surgery
There are three primary types of age-related cataracts:
- Nuclear sclerotic
- Cortical
- Posterior sub capsular
As a person ages, any one type, or a combination of any of these three types, can develop over time.
Two main types of surgical procedures are in common use throughout the world. The first procedure is
- Phacoemulsification
- Extra capsular cataract extraction (ECCE)
In most surgeries an intraocular lens is inserted.
