Flaremetric evaluation of blood-aqueous barrier breakdown in diabetic patients after phacoemulsification and intraocular lenses with or without heparin-coated surface implantation
Abstract:Background: This study compared the intensity of blood-aqueous barrier breakdown in diabetic patients after phacoemulsification with heparin surface-modified and non-modified intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Material and methods: In this prospective trial, 68 diabetic patients were enrolled and divided into two groups: 33 patients with heparin surface-modified IOL implants (group 1) and 35 patients with standard hydrophobic IOL implants (group 2). Blood-aqueous barrier breakdown was assessed using a … Show more
