Pseudo-Exfoliation Syndrome – Correlation of Preoperative Axial Length, Pupillary Diameter, Lens Thickness and Intra Operative Complications During Phacoemulsification
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
175 eyes with Pseudo-exfoliation syndrome (PXF) undergoing cataract surgery by phacoemulsification were studied at this prospective non comparative study conducted at Mahatme Eye Bank Eye Hospital, Nagpur, India. The study aimed at finding out association if any between preoperative Axial Length, Pupillary diameter, Lens thickness and intraoperative complications during phacoemulsification. It was found that association of axial length and lens thickness with intraoperative complications was not significant (P value = 0.58 and 0.54 respectively).The mean pupillary diameter in eyes with complications was less (4.60 ±0.98) mm as compared to 5.61 ±1.60 mm in eyes without complications. The relation between these groups was statistically significant. (P value=0.018)
