[The clinical picture of biocompatibility of intraocular lenses used in cataract surgery].

Implantation of a synthetic prosthesis of a turbid lens is associated with a defined reaction of intraocular tissues. The extent of tissue damage along with a disorder of the haemato-ocular barrier and properties of the implant determine the extent of the inflammatory reaction leading to accumulation of proteins and cells in the anterior chamber of the eye and on the anterior surface of the artificial lens. The intensity of this reaction has an impact also on the final functional effect of the operation.
