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 (PEXS) and glaucoma (PEXG) are assumed to be caused by a generalized elastosis leading the accumulation of PEX material in ocular as well extraocular tissues. The exact pathophysiology PEXS is still elusive. PEXG, most common type secondary open-angle (OAG), characterized large peaks intraocular pressure (IOP) with progressive loss visual field. Agonistic autoantibodi...
