ABSTRACT
The content of sialic acids has been investigated in the lacrimal liquid in patients with senile cataract as well as in the intracapsular extracted crystalline lenses. The highest level of sialic acids was detected in the lacrimal liquid and in the extracted crystalline lenses of patients with mature senile cataract. In this patients a higher frequency of the incipient senile cataract at the other eyeball has been noted.

Data about eye traumatism at the Republican Ophthalmologic Center are presented. 791 patients have been investigated: 52.3% with penetrated wounds; in 19.3% cases we detected foreign intraocular bodies. Fibrinolysin and dexamethazone have been introduced during operation in the case of fibrinoplastic inflammatory process with crystalline lens masses in the anterior camera. As a result we noted a positive evolution in the postoperative period.

The investigation has revealed an immunological character of the exudative reaction in postoperative period of patients with artificial crystalline lens. We noted a cellular immunodeficiency and an increase of immunoglobulins G and A in the lacrimal liquid. The administration of 5-FU (5-fluoroucile) and levamizol decreased the inflammation in the postoperative period.
