Abstract
The immune system of the eye is clocely connected with the immune syst em of homeostasis regulation of the body. The present research was aim ed at the detection of the correlations between blood serum levels of autoantibodies to native and denaturated, DNA and the clinical course of the postoperative period after IOL implantation to cataract patient s. Increased titers of both antibody types were found prognostically v aluable. If only one parameter is increased (antibody titer to one DNA ), the prognostic value of the test is reduced by 30 %.
