A clinical study on intra and postoperative complications of extracapsular cataract surgery with (34 eyes) or without (28 eyes) IOL was conducted in 54 dogs with mature cataract under coaxial operating microscope. Intraoperative complications included chemosis (06), haemorrhage from canthotomy site (10), miosis (II), iris bulging (05) and vitreous prolapse (26). Postoperatively, corneal oedema (27) and suture line opacity (57) were frequently observed. Suture dehiscence (21) and subsequent iris prolapse was usually met in dogs with poor owner compliance. Other complications were vaulting of IOL (in roomy eyes) (07), uveitis (11), posterior capsular opacity (09) and retinal detachment (05).
