Propensity score matching (1:1) was performed to account for clinical and demographic variables, yielding 132 eyes (66 per group) for analysis. Primary outcomes included the incidence of PCO and the need for neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy. Secondary outcomes were the rate of uveitis reactivation and visual improvement. Cox regression models were used to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Hydrophobic IOLs were significantly associated with a reduced risk of PCO (adjusted HR\u2009=\u20090.35; 95% CI, 0.18\u20130.68; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and Nd:YAG capsulotomy (adjusted HR\u2009=\u20090.23; 95% CI, 0.09\u20130.56; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) compared to hydrophilic IOLs. No significant difference was found in the rate of uveitis reactivation between groups (adjusted HR\u2009=\u20090.83; 95% CI, 0.37\u20131.88; p\u2009=\u20090.643).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Hydrophobic intraocular lenses show better capsular biocompatibility in uveitic eyes by significantly reducing the incidence of PCO and need for Nd:YAG capsulotomy, without increasing postoperative inflammation.
