[Intraocular pressure after cataract extraction with implantation of intraocular lenses]

The IOP was measured in large groups of patients with an implanted posterior chamber lens with or without the use of natrium hyaluronate. It was established that implantation of an artificial lens alone does not influence the value of the intraocular pressure. In cases when natrium hyaluronate was used the pressure was slightly higher but only exceptionally it exceeded 35 mm Hg (most frequently in persons with glaucoma existing before the cataract extraction). The IOP was controlled in the course of several days in all the patients without any harmful consequences for the visual function.
