[Cataract surgery in patients with endogenous uveitis].

Abstract
The authors present an account of surgery of complicated cataract in 20 patients with anterior and intermediate uveitis. During a one-year follow-up period they evaluate the difference of postoperative development and visual acuity in extracapsular extraction without or with implantation of an intraocular lens. In 10 patients (5x m. Fuchs, 3x anterior uveitis, 2x intermediate uveitis) they performed only ECCE. In 10 patients with the same diagnosis an intraocular lens was implemented. The authors did not find marked differences between the ECCE operation and ECCE operation with an intraocular lens in patients with uveitis. The visual acuity improved in all 20 patients, a marked inflammatory reaction in the anterior chamber was observed in both groups only during the first days after surgery. The two groups did not differ markedly as regards late complications. From the investigation ensues that implantation of an intraocular lens is well tolerated in patients with anterior and intermediate uveitis assuming a minimum 12-week remission of the disease.
