Outcome of Two Surgical Methods for IOLImplantation in Eyes With Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome
Sponsor: Medical University of Vienna
Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of the two IOL implantation methods for eyes with cataract and PEX in a single-center and with highly experienced surgeons. The goal is to acquire relevant information regarding these two IOL implantation techniques, which will help surgeons to decide which approach to choose, ultimately resulting in a benefit for patients with PEX syndrome who require cataract surgery. The main questions are: Is there a difference in lens tilt and decentration between the both methods. Is there a difference in the frequency and amount of capsular phimosis between the both methods.

Interventions
Phakoemulsification
Femtolaser is used to perform a standard 5.0mm CCC centred on the pupil or limbus and to fragment the lens nucleus toguarantee reproducible results in every eye.After the CCC and nucleus fragmentation the anterior segment is filled with viscoelastics, the rhexis lenticule is removed and hydrodisection of the nucleus is performed. Subsequently phacoemulsification for nucleus and irrigation/aspiration of the lens cortex is performed. The capsular bag and AC is then filled with a cohesive viscoelastic and the IOL is implanted with the haptics in the back or with the haptics in the sulcus. At the end of surgery, the viscoelastic is removed using the irrigation aspiration probe, intracameral antibiotic is instilled, the CCI and paracenteses are hydrated and sealed.
