The authors deal with uveitis and cataract from two aspects. The occurrence of uveitis was analysed both before cataract surgery and postoperatively. The authors found in their material that uveitis occurred before cataract surgery in 1.8% and postoperative uveitis in 1.2% of cases. Special emphasis is put on the occurrence of postoperative complications in such eyes and the indications for the IOL implantation in uveitis patients.
