Intracapsular cataract extraction is a less commonly performed cataract surgery technique that involves removing the entire lens along with its surrounding capsule. This method is typically reserved for rare or complex cases where other cataract techniques are not appropriate. Before recommending ICCE, a thorough evaluation is conducted to assess eye anatomy, lens stability, and surgical risk. The decision to use this technique is made carefully and only when clinically necessary. The procedure requires a larger incision and specialized surgical expertise. Because the natural lens capsule is removed, alternative methods are used to support the artificial lens. While ICCE is rarely used today, it remains an important option in select situations where standard cataract surgery approaches are not feasible.
