[The use of viscoelastic compounds in cataract surgery].

The viscoelastic substances are very useful generally in cataract surgery, but absolutely useful in phacoemulsification. In present is used for viscoelastic compounds two terms that assemble the rheologic and physics-chemical properties: is said about the viscoelastic substance that is cohesive and dispersive (respective cohesivity or dispersivity property). Thus both types of viscoelastic substances--cohesive and dispersive--is used, sequentially, in one system. This double technique provides a fluid, heterogeneous work environment, which differ from the other techniques that use only one viscoelastic substance and provide a fluid, homogeneous work environment.

[Cataract and the exfoliative syndrome].

Exfoliation syndrome is more frequently in the older age and represents a risk factor for cataract surgery. This paper presents the results of a clinical trial made on 436 patients with troubles of transparency of the lens who were investigate in our clinic during January 1995-January 1997, and in whom, clinic and paraclinic exams have not revealed any associated ocular disease. In 14% of these patients who presented troubles of transparency of the lens were found uni- or bilateral exfoliation. The authors present the treatment applied both in patients in clinical follow-up (50% of patients with exfoliation syndrome develop secondary glaucoma) and patients who underwent surgical treatment. The patients with exfoliation syndrome and cataract have had a high risk to develop intra- and postoperative complications. The surgical treatment suggested by authors is extracapsular cataract extraction, either or without lens implantation and peripheral iridectomy which represents a compulsory step.
