Abstract

Purpose. To determine possible postoperative complications and methods of their prevention in patients with history of chronic uveitis who underwent Phacoemulsification of cataract with primary IOL implantation. Material and methods. In this article we give clinical analysis of complications after phacoemulsification with primary IOL implantation in patients with history of chronic uveitis. 5 patients with this pathology were hospitalized during 2020. Results. In this work, we provide literature data on the topic of primary IOL implantation in such patients. Currently there is no united opinion on managing such patients. Nevertheless, many authors agree that by using acrylic lenses, prolonged pharmacotherapy, uveitis remission of more than 3 months primary IOL implantation can be safe, and we can get high visual acuity [14]. In hard cases, some authors used primary IOL implantation with primary posterior capsulorhexis, which helped them to lower rate of postoperative complications [2, 3, 11, 21, 24]. Nevertheless, there are cases where IOL cause untreatable uveitis and therefore the question of lens explanation arises [8]. Conclusion. When solving the question of primary IOL implantation during extracting cataract in patients with chronic uveitis for maximum safety we should consider the following: history of the patient's background disease and systemic treatment he is getting, frequency of former uveitic attacks, laboratory data at the time of operation. The patient needs preliminary sanitation of all possible sources of inflammation and infection, pharmacotherapeutical preparation (both topical and general). After operation patient is needed prolonged anti-inflammatory therapy (NAIDS and Corticosteroids) and dynamic observation despite calm eye condition. Key words: uveitis, cataract phacoemulsification, iol implantation.
