Abstract
Abstract. In a prospective study, designed to test the effect of intraocular lenses containing an ultraviolet absorbing chromophore on the incidence of post‐operative cystoid macular oedema, 55 patients undergoing extracapsular cataract extraction were randomly allocated to receive intraocular lenses with or without an ultra‐violet absorbing chromophore. Post‐operative fluorescein angiography showed no difference in the incidence of macular oedema in those patients receiving an intraocular lens with an ultraviolet absorbing chromophore compared with patients receiving a standard posterior chamber intraocular lens. 1989 Institution Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica
