Uveitis can complicate cataract surgery and limit vision gains
Postoperative vision gains in eyes with uveitis that undergo cataract surgery are about a line less compared with healthy eyes that undergo the same procedure, according to the results of a U.K. database study.There were much higher rates of intraoperative complications in uveitic eyes, and more combined procedures were performed in uveitic eyes compared with a control group of non-uveitic eyes undergoing cataract surgery, Colin J. Chu, PhD, FRCOphth, of the University of Bristol, told Ocular Surgery News.
