Eye structure and strength in pseudoexfoliation
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how the clear front part of the eye, called the cornea, changes in people with a condition called pseudoexfoliation. It may help doctors understand how this condition affects eye strength and vision after cataract surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 80 years old.
- You have had cataract surgery in one or both eyes, and this surgery was done at Papageorgiou General Hospital in Thessaloniki, Greece.
- The angle where fluid drains from your eye is open (your doctor can check this).
- You have not had any other eye surgery besides simple cataract surgery.
- Your cataract surgery was at least 3 months ago.
- You do not have glaucoma or high eye pressure (above 21 mmHg).
- You do not have severe nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism needing glasses stronger than a certain level.
- You do not wear contact lenses, have had eye injury, or have corneal problems.

This trial looks at how cataract surgery changes the shape and strength of the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) in people with a condition called pseudoexfoliation syndrome, which can affect eye tissues. The goal is to see if surgery works differently for these patients compared to those without the condition.
This study looks at how your eye's outer layer (cornea) heals and changes shape after cataract surgery, specifically comparing people who have pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) with those who do not. The goal is to see if PEX affects the final vision result after cataract removal.
This study looks at how pseudoexfoliation syndrome (a condition where protein-like flakes build up in the eye) affects pupil size and the nerve fibers in the retina. If you have this condition and have not had eye surgery or other conditions affecting your pupil, you may be able to participate.
This study compares two different surgical methods for placing a new artificial lens (IOL) during cataract surgery in people with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. It aims to find which method works best for these patients.
This study tests new ways to measure how well your eye sees after having cataract surgery with a special lens that helps with reading and distance. They'll take detailed measurements of your eye to improve future lens designs.
This study tests whether a special “Brillouin” microscope scan can spot corneal ectasia and related cornea conditions. It may help doctors diagnose problems earlier and better sort out who needs closer eye care.
