RODRIGUEZ SUAREZ, Belkys et al. Some considerations about cataract after uveitis. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2016, vol.29, n.3, pp. 502-515. ISSN 1561-3070.

Cataract represents a common cause of medical consultation in patients with inflammatory illnesses because of the visual problems it brings about and the evaluation of the surgical treatment. Surgery is more complicated to be performed in these patients. A literature review on this topic in the last ten years was made. Some considerations were put forward about the treatment protocols before, during and after cataract surgery, the difficulties and elements to be taken into account for best treatment and implantation of the intraocular lens. The treatment choices, the preoperative and postoperative control as well as the prevention of transoperative complications are fundamental for better prognosis of patients with uveitis. We intended to make a literature review on this topic using the articles published in the last ten years as well as to present our experiences and the elements to take into account to achieve best results in the cataract surgery.
