Postoperative inflammatory reactions to intraocular lense sterilized with ethylene-oxide

W J Stark et al. Ophthalmology. 1980 May.

Postoperative inflammatory complications after intraocular lens implantation have increased since we have been using lenses manufactured by American companies and sterilized with ethylene-oxide, as compared with lenses from European companies sterilized by sodium hydroxide. The possible sources of this complication are discussed.
