“…In our study, 43.75% of right eyes and 46.15% of left eyes had pseudoexfoliative material deposited on both the anterior lens capsule and the pupillary margin, followed by deposition on the pupillary margin alone, then on the anterior capsule alone, and lastly on the ciliary zonules. In the study by Rashid et al ,[ 19 ] PEX deposits were seen on the anterior lens capsule and the pupillary margin in most patients (80%). In another study by Nouri-Mahdavi et al ,[ 20 ] the anterior lens capsule was observed to be the most common site of PEX deposition.…”

Purpose: To study the prevalence of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) in diabetics with senile cataracts and compare it to the prevalence in nondiabetic control group. Methods: Two hundred and fifty diabetics and 250 nondiabetics (age and sex matched) were evaluated for PEX deposition. Results: Chi-squared test was employed, and a P value < 0.05 was considered significant. In the PEX group, most patients belonged to the age group of 60–70 years (55.17%). Out of 18 patients with PEX, 11 (61.1%) showed bilaterality. There was a higher frequency of raised intraocular pressure (IOP; >20 mmHg) in PEX eyes (10.3%) than in the non-PEX eyes (5.9%). The PEX group had a higher number of eyes with cup-to-disc ratio (CDR) >0.6 (11.12%) than the non-PEX group (4.32%). Nuclear cataracts were more frequent in PEX eyes than non-PEX eyes, whereas PSC and mature cataracts were more prevalent in the non-PEX group. Most eyes had PEX deposition on the anterior lens capsule and pupillary margin. Of the 500 study eyes corresponding to the diabetic group, 418 had cataracts (rest pseudophakic), of which 28 had pseudoexfoliation, accounting for 6.7% of the total. In the nondiabetic control group comprising 500 eyes, 430 had senile cataracts (rest pseudophakic), of which 105 had PEX deposition, accounting for 24.4% of the total. Conclusion: According to our findings, diabetics have a lower prevalence of PEX than nondiabetics. Few such studies have been conducted so far, and none have been conducted in the Indian population.
