Higher TGF- β2 Level in the Aqueous Humor of the Second Eye Versus the First Eye in the Course of Sequential Cataract Surgery.

CONCLUSION: During bilateral sequential cataract surgery, the AH of the second eye had a higher level of TGF-β2 but not of proinflammatory cytokines or chemokines compared with those in the first eye, implying a protective mechanism preventing the sympathetic immune reaction induced by the first-eye cataract surgery.
