Natural course of intraocular pressure after cataract surgery with sodium hyaluronate 1% versus hydroxypropylmethylcellulose 2%.

Purpose: To investigate the natural course of intraocular pressure (IOP) after small-incision cataract surgery with sodium hyaluronate 1% versus hydroxypropylmethylcellulose 2%.

Design: Randomized clinical trial.

Participants: Eighty eyes of 40 consecutive patients with bilateral age-related cataract.

Natural course of intraocular pressure after cataract surgery with sodium chondroitin sulfate 4%-sodium hyaluronate 3% (Viscoat).

Purpose: To investigate the natural course of intraocular pressure (IOP) and its peak after small-incision cataract surgery with chondroitin sulfate 4%-sodium hyaluronate 3% (Viscoat, Alcon Laboratories, Inc., Fort Worth, TX).

Design: Observational case series.
