[Early and late observations of intraocular pressure in patients with implanted intraocular lens]

The aim of the paper was to evaluate intraocular pressure changes that follow the implantation of posterior intraocular lens. In two examined groups of patients (I group--sulcus ciliaris, II group--intracapsular implantation) the decrease of average intraocular pressure values was observed in the early days after surgery, then during 3 months, it gradually returned to the initial values. This decrease was less marked in the first group of patients. Long-term observation showed the stabilization of intraocular pressure at a level similar to the mean values before surgery.
