Acrylate Intraocular Lenses in Cataract Surgery of Uveitis Patients

This study has been completed.

Sponsored by:	St. Franziskus Hospital
Information provided by:	St. Franziskus Hospital
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00403832

Purpose

Cataract is a common complication in uveitis patients. Cataract operations with intraocular lens implantation are difficult in these patients because of complication due to the biocompatibility of the intraocular lens. In this study uveal and capsular biocompatibility of two widely used acrylate intraocular lenses are compared.
