This study aimed to determine the longitudinal effects of cataract surgery on static pupil diameters and dilation velocity in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome compared with age-matched controls.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This longitudinal study included 166 eyes of 166 patients undergoing cataract surgery, comprising 91 eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and 75 control eyes without pseudoexfoliation. Pupillary parameters were measured preoperatively and at six months postoperatively using automated pupillometry. Static pupil diameters were assessed under scotopic (0.04\u00a0lx), mesopic (4\u00a0lx), and photopic (40\u00a0lx) illumination conditions. Dynamic pupillary function was evaluated by measuring dilation velocity (DVel, mm\/s) following a standardized light stimulus. Postoperative changes (\u0394) were calculated as the difference between preoperative and postoperative measurements.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Static pupil diameters remained stable in the PXF group across all illumination conditions (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&gt;\u20090.05).

The most notable finding was observed in pupillary kinetics: dilation velocity significantly increased in the PXF group from 0.13\u2009\u00b1\u20090.04\u00a0mm\/s to 0.17\u2009\u00b1\u20090.05\u00a0mm\/s (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), whereas no significant change was detected in the control group.
