In a controlled prospective trial the peroperative use of sodium hyaluronate and methylcellulose (2%) was compared. Two hundred and fifteen patients received sodium hyaluronate and 189 methylcellulose during extracapsular cataract extraction. We found no significant difference in postoperative anterior chamber inflammation, intraocular pressure, frequency of fibrin in the anterior chamber, nor need for additional medication during the first 5 postoperative days.
