[The preclinical diagnosis, prevention and treatment of postoperative iridocyclitis in patients after intraocular aphakia correction].

Three hundred and fifty-two patients with senile cataract were followed up. Herpes-virus and Chlamydia infections were proven to be important in the development of exudative complications as observed during the early postoperative period in patients after cataract extraction and IOL implantation. The phagocyte index as well as the phagocyte number were found to be reliably reduced versus the normal values in patients with postoperative iridocyclitis.
