Abstract
Background: Cataract remains a significant cause of visual impairment globally, with pseudo exfoliation syndrome (PEX) posing additional challenges for cataract surgery. This study aimed to compare outcomes and complications in patients with and without PEX undergoing phacoemulsification for senile cataract.
Materials and Methods: A total of 70 patients were divided into two groups: PEX (Group 1) and non-PEX (Group 2). Surgical procedures were performed, and outcomes were evaluated.
Results: Group 1 exhibited smaller pupil diameter and higher rates of advanced cataracts and intraoperative complications. Despite similar postoperative parameters, Group 1 showed increased inflammatory response and poorer initial visual recovery.
Conclusion: Tailored management strategies for PEX patients undergoing cataract surgery are warranted.
Keywords: Pseudoexfoliation, Phacoemulsification, Cataract, Complications.
