Cataract Surgery and Possible Complications in Patients with Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic characteristics and intraoperative complications of cataract surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX). MATERIALS AND METHODS Cases of 225 eyes (80 eyes with pseudoexfoliation and 145 eyes without pseudoexfoliation as the control group) that underwent phacoemulsification cataract surgery and IOL implantation at th...

Plasma Homocysteine Levels in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome

Metabolic syndrome, dysmetabolic syndrome or insulinresistance syndrome (or syndrome X as it was initially designated), which is closely linked to insulin resistance, is a condition, which is recognized as raising the risk of car...

Proteins in aqueous humor from cataract patients with and without pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

The aim of this study was to investigate the protein content in aqueous humor in eyes with and without pseudoexfoliations (PEX) and to evaluate the quantitative proteomics method, isobaric tagging for relative and absolute protein quantification (iTRAQ), in combination with two separation methods followed by matrix-assisted Laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry and tandem mass s...

Complications of cataract surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

BACKGROUND The weak zonule's predisposition to complications during conventional cataract surgery is one of the common risk factor for poor visual acuity after surgery. The present study was conducted to determine the frequency and types of complications during cataract surgery in patients with Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome. METHODS A cross sectional descriptive study based on non probability sa...

Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome in Diabetic Patients

OBJECTIVE: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) leads to some problems in the eye surgery specially cataract surgery. As the prevalence of eye problems is high in diabetic patients, we meant to assess the prevalence of PEX in diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 400 type 2 diabetic patients aged 50 or above who referred to Yazd Diabetes Research Center were sele...
