title: [Noninfectious uveitis after extracapsular lens extraction].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To reveal the etiopathogenic features of the noninfectious uveitis after extracapsular lens extraction, with or without artificial lens implantation.
  
  
  METHODS
  A retrospective study including 33 patients with noninfectious uveitis after extracapsular lens extraction with or without artificial lens implantation has been performed. The patients have been selected exclusively according to clinical criteria.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In 27 patients (80.80%), risk factors for the postoperative uveitis have been identified. Among these, the most frequently incriminated has been the operation itself (14 cases--42.42%), with the persistence of cortical material on the first place: 10 cases (30.30%).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The unfavourable evolution of the uveitis has been associated with the following risk factors: previous uveitis, the incorrect position of the artificial lens, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus.
