How cataract surgery affects the eye in PEX syndrome
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how cataract surgery changes the stiffness of the cornea (the clear front part of the eye) in people with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX), a condition where tiny flakes build up in the eye. It will compare their results to people without PEX to see if the surgery affects them differently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have age-related cataracts that need surgery.
- You either have pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) or you don't (you can join as a control).

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 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.
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 looks at how dry eye symptoms change after cataract surgery. It is for older adults (50–90) having simple cataract surgery for the first time, without other eye problems or certain health conditions.
This study measures corneal thickness after cataract surgery in people with and without Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy (a condition that can cause cloudy vision). It may help doctors understand how the cornea heals after surgery.
This study looks at how cataract surgery affects dry eye disease. It compares people without dry eye to those with mild or moderate dry eye to see if surgery makes their dry eye better or worse.
