Cataract surgery effect on cornea in pseudoexfoliation syndrome
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 50 years old or older.
- You need to have a cataract (cloudy lens) that requires surgery.
- You must either have pseudoexfoliation syndrome or not have it (this is determined by your doctor).
- You must be able to give written consent.
- You cannot have had any previous eye surgery.
- You cannot have certain other eye conditions like glaucoma, dry eye, or high myopia (nearsightedness greater than -6.00 D) or high hyperopia (farsightedness greater than +5.00 D).

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 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 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 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.
