ABSTRACT
AIMS:
A prospective randomised clinical trial was set up to compare the effect of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (Ocucoat) and sodium hyaluronate (Healonid) on pupil size and reactivity following their use in cataract surgery.METHODS:
Pupil measurements were recorded before and 6 weeks after surgery.RESULTS:
There was no significant difference between the two groups with respect to pupil size (p = 0.69, Mann-Whitney U test) nor with respect to reactivity (p = 0.99, Fischer's exact test). Ninety six per cent of the surgery was performed using phacoemulsification.CONCLUSION:
This trial suggests that both viscoelastic materials have similar effects on the pupil after their use in cataract surgery.
