Aim: To evaluate demographic characteristics, intraoperative problems and postoperative complications of cataract surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome Material and Method: The files of patients who underwent cataract surgery in the last 1 year were retrospectively scanned and 147 eyes of 130 patients with PEX were included. Examination findings were obtained from medical records retrospectively with information on surgery and postoperative follow-up information. Patients were divided into 2 groups with and without PEX. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuities, intraocular pressure (IOP), pupil dilatation, presence of zone weakness, intraoperative and postoperative complications, and patients with and without glaucoma were noted separately. Results: Among the patients included in the study were 71 men (54.6%) and 59 women (45.4%). The mean age man was 68,62 ± 8,04 the mean age of women was 67,84 ± 9,64 for females. There was an increase in visual acuity in both groups when compared with the best corrected visual acuity before and after surgery (p<0.001). The postoperative IOP values of the patients were significantly higher statistically significantly lower than preoperative values (p<0.001). The most common preoperative problem was weak dilatation of the pupil, which was 81.75% (n: 112) in all eyes. Conclusion: There are many factors that complicate cataract surgery in patients with PEX, and surgeons should be aware of the potential complications of cataract surgery in these patients.
