Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is a chronic, systemic, connective tissue disease. Its hallmark is the accumulation of an abnormal, amyloid-like material in the anterior segment tissues of the eye. PEX is one of the risk factors in the development of lens opacification.

The aim of the paper is a presentation of the current knowledge on the relationship between pseudoexfoliation syndrome and cataract.

Special attention is paid to pathogenetic and epidemiologic factors
