Visual outcomes and complications of manual small-incision cataract surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation.

Purpose: Pseudoexfoliation is an age-related fibrillopathy characterized by the deposition of fibrillar material in the eye with an increased risk of complications during cataract surgery. Aim was to study visual outcomes and complications in patients with pseudoexfoliation undergoing manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS).

Methods: Prospective observational study was performed on 152 patients with pseudoexfoliation above 50 years undergoing MSICS in a tertiary hospital from December 2016 to November 2017.
