Epidemiology, biometric features and risk factors of pseudoexfoliation syndrome among cataract patients: a hospital-based study in Apulia
PEX was relatively uncommon in this Southern Italian cohort and primarily age-related. No association was found between PEX and standard biometric features or between systemic inflammation (NLR) and surgical risk. Larger, multicenter studies integrating genetic and inflammatory markers are warranted to further elucidate PEX pathogenesis.
