This study was performed to determine the effects of different viscoelastics on early postoperative intraocular pressure after phacoemulsification. Sixty-four patients were selected for cataract extraction by phacoemulcification with intraocular lens implantation via corneal insicion. In 32 of 64 patients, sodium hyaluronate 1% (Healon) was used while in the rest sodium hyaluronate 3% - chondroitin sulfate 4% (Viscoat) was used intraoperatively as a viscoelastic agent. All of them were implanted multi-piece polymethyl metacrylate posterior chamber intraocular lens with 5.0 mm diameter biconvex optic. Intraocular pressures were obtained just before surgery and after 6 and 24 hours and 7th and 30th days of operation. At 6 hours postoperatively, intraocular pressures rised significantly in both groups (P<0.05, P<0.05). Intraocular pressures decreased significantly at 24 hours in each group (P<0.05, P<0.05) and stabilized in similar values at 7th and 30th days.Keywords: Healon, Viscoat, Intraocular Pressure,
