Description
Background: Pseudo exfoliation (PEX) is an age-related systemic disorder in which fibrillar extracellular mate-rial is synthesized and deposited in the anterior segment of the eye. Hence, cataract surgery in PEX poses a chal-lenge to ophthalmic surgeons. Method: 50 patients above fifty years of age with PEX were studied; planned manual small incision cataract surgery with rigid posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation under peribulbar anesthesia was carried out. Results: 22 (44%) patients had intraoperative complications. The major postoperative complications were 16 (32%) corneal oedema with sk’s, 15 (30%) had severe AC reactions, and 7 (14%) Iris pigment dispersion. Conclusion: It is concluded that proper preoperative evaluation and modification of surgical technique are es-sential to manage intraoperative complications and successful cataract surgery with PEX.
