Abstract

Introduction: Pseudoexfoliation cataract forms part of pseudoexfoliation syndrome. It is common in the older age group, with most cases occurring in late 60’s and early 70’s. The reported influence of sex is conflicting with one study showing a female preponderance and the other of males. No hereditary pattern has been established and studies have given conflicting results with regard to positive correlation with HLA typing. Methodology: Total numbers of 100 eyes with 100 patients were selected for the study who have presented with cataract and pseudo exfoliation. The present study was conducted in the Ophthalmology department and Patients attending ophthalmic OPD who had any evidence of any material deposit in the anterior segment during routine examination were further evaluated for PEX. Results: Majority of patients that is 88 of them had pseudo exfoliative material deposits on pupillary margin next to lens, 53 patients had deposits on iris surface, 42 had motheaten appearance, 12 had iris atrophy, and 15 had posterior synechiae and 5 had iridodonesis. Conclusion: The study included a total of 100 patients of cataract with PEX. The average age of the patients was 65.74 years with a slight male preponderance over females and with increased incidence of bilateral involvement.
