Corneal Endothelium After Phacoemulsification in Pseudo Exfoliation Syndrome

In a prospective interventional case-control study, 20 eyes with cataract and PEX and 20 control eyes with cataract without PXE were subjected to phacoemulsification and posterior chamber foldable intraocular lens implantation in Minia University Hospital and Genaidy Eye Center between March 2019 and December 2020. Specular microscopy was done preoperatively, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Endothelium cell density (ECD), coefficient variation (CV), hexagonality, pleomorphism and corneal thickness were evaluated and compares between PXE and control eyes.
