Errors in the prediction of postoperative refraction following intraocular lens implantation in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome

摘要

Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is considered a risk factor in cataract surgery because it may cause rupture of the ciliary zonule, vitreous loss, and postoperative intraocular hypertension.Weakening of the ciliary zonule may cause errors in refraction after intraocular lens (IOL) implantation even without complications such as rupture of the ciliary zonule and IOL subluxa-tion. However, any tendency toward refraction errors remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the deviations in refraction 1 day and 1 month after phacoemulsification with IOL implantation performed without complications compared with the predicted refraction in patients with pseudoexfoliation.
