Cataract extraction: When the lens is obviously cloudy and affects vision, cataract extraction should be performed. When the lens ruptures and the cortex protrudes into the anterior chamber, glucocorticoids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and intraocular pressure-lowering medications can be used, and the cataract can be surgically removed after the inflammatory reaction in the anterior segment subsides. If the inflammatory reaction does not subside after treatment, or the elevation of intraocular pressure cannot be controlled, or the lens cortex is in contact with the corneal endothelium, the cataract should be removed promptly. 3.
