[Lymphotherapy of early postoperative period in intraocular cataract correction]

Potentialities of lymphotropic method of drug administration for arresting inflammation after intraocular cataract correction were studied in 60 patients aged 48-63 years. Extracapsular cataract extraction with implantation of posterior-chamber Alexeev's intraocular lens (IOL) was carried out in all of them. Patients with complications of surgery and a history of inflammations in the operated eye were not included in the study. For assessing lymphotherapy effect on drug concentration in the blood, bloodflow aggregation gradient in the bulbar conjunctiva venules was estimated in the operated on eye. The data indicate that lymphotherapy is an effective method for treating early postoperative inflammations after IOL implantation, shortening the treatment terms in comparison with traditional therapy.
