Uveal and capsular biocompatibility of 2 foldable acrylic intraocular lenses in patients with uveitis or pseudoexfoliation syndrome

Abstract

Uveal and capsular biocompatibility depends on the intensity of ocular inflammation. The greater the inflammation, the less the biocompatibility of hydrophilic and hydrophobic acrylic materials. AcrySof stimulated more FBGCs. The Hydroview material had better uveal but poorer capsular biocompatibility than AcrySof. The sharp optic edge effect of the AcrySof IOL and the advantages of the Hydroview lens in normal eyes are less apparent in compromised eyes.
