Phacoemulsification cataract surgery is safe for eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX). Postoperative results are comparable to eyes without PEX when careful surgical techniques are used.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Science

Background:

  • Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is a common condition affecting the eye's lens capsule.
  • Cataract surgery aims to restore vision by removing the clouded lens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare phacoemulsification cataract surgery outcomes and complications in eyes with and without pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of phacoemulsification in PEX eyes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 116 cataract surgery cases (55 with PEX, 61 without).
  • Phacoemulsification performed by a single surgeon, with detailed intraoperative and postoperative monitoring.
  • Statistical analysis using the Student-t test.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Significant correlations found between pupil size, anterior chamber depth, and complications in the PEX group.
  • Similar visual acuities were achieved in both groups.
  • Intraocular pressure reduction was slightly superior in the PEX group; IOL dislocation rates were not significantly different.

    • Conclusions:

    • Phacoemulsification is a safe and effective cataract surgery method for eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
    • Careful surgical technique is crucial for optimal outcomes in PEX eyes.
    • Long-term postoperative results are comparable between eyes with and without PEX.
