Cellular reaction and pigment deposits on the intraocular lens were evaluated by biomicroscopy in 220 eyes which had undergone estracapsular cataract extraction and implantation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens 3 months previously. No cells or pigment were observed on the intraocular lens in 32% of the eyes, while small cells and/or pigment were found in 32% and giant cells with or without pigment and small cells were seen in 35%. In a sample of 28 eyes the clinical findings correlated with the findings in specular microphotographs. The corresponding percentages were 32, 36 and 32% in biomicroscopy and 14, 36 and 50% in specular microphotography. The giant cell reaction was notably (p < 0.001) associated with the presence of exfoliation. Previous ocular diseases and operations did not increase the frequency of cellular reaction.
