  • Title: Long-term results of extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber lens implantation: sodium hyaluronate 1% vs hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 2%.
    Author: Storr-Paulsen A, Larsen M.
    Journal: Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh); 1991 Dec; 69(6):766-9. PubMed ID: 1789092.
    Abstract:
    We investigated the frequency of surgical complications and the long-term outcome in terms of visual acuity, intraocular pressure and post-operative complications in 206 extracapsular cataract extraction procedures with posterior chamber lens implantation using either sodium hyaluronate 1% (Healon) or hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose 2% over a follow-up period of 12 months. We found no significant difference in the results of using either of the two viscoelastic agents.
