title: [Postoperative uveitis following extra-capsular extraction and posterior chamber implantation].
abstract: We describe significant non infectious post operative uveitis after extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) with insertion of a posterior chamber intra ocular lens. We observe three forms of evolution: the acute and early uveitis, quickly resolving; the late-occuring uveitis; and the chronic, recurring uveitis, which suggests that the inflammatory response may be caused by the hypersensitivity to the lens protein which remained after the ECCE. So a phako-anaphylactic reaction may occur.
