With proper preoperative preparation, intraoperative use of appropriate adjunctive devices, and close postoperative follow-up, favorable outcomes can be achieved in cataract surgery in pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

Central corneal thickness (CCT) is an important parameter in the assessment of any potential glaucoma patient. While it affects prognosis in ocular hypertension, its value in patients diagnosed with glaucoma is less certain. There are several biological factors and genetic components that may influence glaucoma progression, which have been associated with thinner CCT. The CCT itself can be affected by several factors including ethnicity, age, sex, glaucoma medications, genetics, and the subtype of glaucoma. Besides, there is variability in the measurement of CCT between difference types of devices. These factors need to be considered in the evaluation of glaucoma patients' CCT and its effect on interpretation of intraocular pressure levels and risk stratification.
