[Inflammatory complications and anterior chamber implants after intracapsular extraction of the lens].
We studied the degree of inflammatory reaction after 43 non-complication intracapsular cataract extractions with anterior chamber lens implantation. Two types of implants were used that varied only by the shape and composition of their loops. Inflammation was more frequent and more severe with polypropylene loops. However, the degree of the inflammatory reaction did not interfere with the final visual results. The anatomic position of the loops did not noticeably influence the degree of inflammation but did seem to affect the final visual acuity.
