METHODS: It is a hospital based study of 30 eyes of 30 patients with cataract and Pseudoexfoliation syndrome in a tertiary eye hospital. RESULTS: The average age of patients in the study was 63.83 years with a male predominance with equal incidence of unilateral and bilateral involvement with pseudoexfoliation and cataract. In the study, 8(26.67%) of the patients had intraoperative complication while 22(73.33%) did not. 5 (16.67%) of the patients had zonular dehiscence, 5(16.67%) of the patients had Posterior Capsular Rent and 3(10%) of the patients had Vitreous loss. 27(90%) of the patients were implanted with intraocular lens after employment of various surgical modifications. 3(10%) of the patients were left aphakic due to the above mentioned complications. INTERPRETATION & CONCLUSION: Inadequate mydriasis is one of the major preoperative complications in eyes with Pseudoexfoliation syndrome which has a bearing on the intraoperative complications.
