Corneal Biomechanics and Surgically Induced Astigmatism in Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome

Influence of Corneal Biomechanics on Surgically Induced Astigmatism After Cataract Surgery in Patients With Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome

Sponsor

Kata Culina

Enrollment

70 participants

Start Date

Jul 20, 2026

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Astigmatism Cataract Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome

Summary

This prospective study aims to evaluate the influence of corneal biomechanical properties on surgically induced astigmatism following standard phacoemulsification cataract surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome compared with patients without pseudoexfoliation. Corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF) and corneal astigmatism will be measured before surgery and at postoperative follow-up visits. The relationship between changes in corneal biomechanics and surgically induced astigmatism will be analyzed.
