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...

BACKGROUND To report a case of postoperative fibrous membrane formation occluding the visual axis in the presence of anterior capsular phimosis in a patient with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION A 79-year-old Asian woman with pseudoexfoliation syndrome underwent uneventful phacoemulsification and implantation of one-piece hydrophilic acrylic square-edged intraocular lens (Cristal...

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...

INTRODUCTION Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is a common clinically important systemic condition characterized by the pathological production and accumulation of an abnormal fibrillar extracellular material in many intraocular and extra ocular tissues. Many studies have shown that pseudoexfoliation syndrome patients have higher rates of intraoperative complications during cataract surgery compared t...

Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is an ocular condition characterized by a distinctive deposition of fibrillar material in the anterior segment of the eye. Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is frequently associated with glaucoma. Though it is seen in all the population, prevalence varies considerably in different races. A hospital based study done in Nepal by our group showed that Gurung population is frequ...

The balance between the secretion of aqueous humor by ciliary body and its drainage through 2 independent pathways, trabecular meshwork uveoscleral outflow pathway; this will determine intraocular pressure, which is considered determining factor for glaucoma. Glaucoma an entity great clinical importance, being second cause blindness worldwide. There are different explanations pathophysiology di...

BACKGROUND Pseudoexfoliation is the most common identifiable cause of secondary glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation patients have higher rates of intraoperative and postoperative complications of cataract surgery compared to those without the condition. Hence, the objective of this study was to assess the clinical characteristics of pseudoexfoliation syndrome among cataract patients examined at Jimm...

purpose: to report a case of pseudoexfoliation syndrome in young keratoconus patient following penetrating keratoplasty. case report: a 37 year old man who underwent penetrating keratoplasty 13 years ago in his left eye due to keratoconus developed pseudoexfoliation (pex) syndrome in the operated eye. apart from pex material deposition on the crystalline lens ophthalmic exam was within normal l...
