Ocular Biometry, Keratometry Reading and Intra Ocular Pressure in age-related cataract patients with and without pseudoexfoliation Syndrome

Abstract

Objective: This study aims at making a comparison between Ocular Biometry, Keratometry Reading and Intra Ocular Pressure in age-related cataract patients with and without Pseudo Exfoliation Syndrome.

Methodology: A clinical-based cross-sectional study was carried out on 118 patients in 2008, with and without pseudoexfoliation syndrome who were candidates for age-related cataract surgery. Ocular Biometry, the related components including Anterior Chamber Depth, Lens Thickness, Vitreous Chamber Depth and Axial Length were measured using an A-scan ultrasound device. Corneal Power and Intra Ocular Pressure were also measured using keratometer and applanation tonometry, respectively.

Results: Of the 118 patient with mean age 68.97
