Eye stiffness and healing in cataract surgery with PEX
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 50 and 85 years
- Having cataract surgery scheduled
- Either have pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) or be free of it
- Can give written permission to join the study
- Willing to come back for all follow-up visits after surgery

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.
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 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 collects eye fluid and tissue samples during planned cataract or combined cataract-glaucoma surgery to analyze differences between people with and without glaucoma. It may help researchers understand eye disease better.
