Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) prevalence, type of cataract, frequency of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma, and intraoperative complications in patients having cataract surgery. Material and Methods: Patients who underwent cataract surgery at Adana Numune Training and Research Hospital were evaluated retrospectively. The study assessed patient age, gender, anterior segment and fundus findings, intraocular pressure measurement, intraoperative complication notes. The cases were classified into two groups: the PEX + and the PEX - group. Results: The mean age was 76.4 ± 10 in patients with PEX and 66.8 ± 12 in patients without PEX (p 0.05). Intraoperative complications in PEX+ and PEX- cases were observed %11.5 and %8.4 respectively (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of PEX is very variable in different geographical regions. PEX should be considered in the ophthalmologic examination due to risk factors and complications.
