We investigated the frequency of surgical complications and the long‐term outcome in terms of visual acuity, intraocular pressure and post‐operative complications in 206 extracapsular cataract extraction procedures with posterior chamber lens implantation using either sodium hyaluronate 1% (Healon) or hydroxypropyl‐methylcellulose 2% over a follow‐up period of 12 months. We found no significant difference in the results of using either of the two viscoelastic agents.
