title: Visual Prognosis and Associated Factors of Phacoemulsification and Intraocular Lens Implantation in Different Uveitis Entities in Han Chinese.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To address the visual prognosis and associated predictors of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in different uveitis entities in Han Chinese.
  
  
  METHODS
  A retrospective review of the uveitis patients who underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in our center between 2004 and 2014.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The 158 patients (226 eyes) included anterior uveitis (45 eyes), posterior/pan-uveitis (61 eyes), Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (79 eyes) and Behçet disease (41 eyes). At 6 months after surgery, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) significantly improved (p < 0.001) in all uveitis groups with 134 (59.3%) eyes achieving 20/40 or better. The anterior uveitis and Behçet disease groups had significantly better and worse visual outcomes than other groups, respectively. Poor preoperative BCVA, macular lesions, and secondary glaucoma were independent variables that predicted a poor visual outcome.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our current study revealed a generally favorable outcome and associated predictors of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in uveitic cataracts in Han Chinese.
