Summary:

       The authors present an account on the incidence of secondary cataract in AcrySof lenses MA30BA and MA60BM in a group of 65 eyes. The authors selected as criterium for evaluation of secondary cataract the transparency of the posterior capsule in correlation with deterioration of visual acuity and the number of performed Nd:YAG posterior capsulotomies. The follow-up period was 6 to 32 months.The icidence of secondary cataract in AcrySof lenses was 13.8%, the number of performed capsulotomies was 0. These results were compared with the incidence of secondary cataract in PMMA and silicone lenses. The incidence of secondary cataract in eyes with PMMA lenses was recored in 58.5% and in eyes with a silicone lens in 46.2%. In eyes with a PMMA lens Nd:YAG posterior capsu- lotomy was performed in 32% and in eyes with a silicoe lens in 26%.

        Key words: secondary cataract, intraocular Acrysof lenses
