Conclusion
Improvement of visual acuity after cataract surgery in BD patients mainly depends on retinal and optic nerve function before operation. Inflammatory reaction just after operation and frequency of recurrences after cataract surgery are more prominent in BD patients undergoing extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens. Lensvitrectomy is preferable for complicated cataract due to ocular BD.
