Zhuravok J. Effectiveness of water-soluble antioxidants in complex treatment of inflammatory reaction after senile cataract extraction with IOL implantation

Inflammatory reaction after senile cataract extraction with IOL impantation. To increase the efficacy of surgical treatment of patients with age cataract. Ophthalmological, biochemical; biomicroscopy, ultrasound examination, tonography. Slit lamp, ultrasound scaner "Compuscan". For the first time it was determined, that decreasing of level of the free-radical form of oxygen after the using of water-soluble antioxidants increases a degree of postsurgical inflammatory process in the eye. The new method of inflammatory reaction decrease after cataract extraction with IOL impantation using the 0,25% solution of zinc sulfate was offered. Results of investigation are introduced in Filatov Institute, clinacal hospital №4 in Odessa, Odessa and Donetsk medical universities. Efficacy - the postsurgical inflammatory reaction in patients after cataract extraction with IOL impantation was decreased - the degree of pericorneal injection - on 24,6% and the anterior chamber liquid opacity - on 14,6%. Sphere of application - medicine, Ophthalmology.
