At the conclusion of each procedure, the surgeon recorded the perceived stress according to the following three indices: surgeon score, qualitative score (yes or no), and total score (sum of itemized causes of stress). Patient variables included in the analysis included gender, age, diabetes mellitus, morbid obesity, intake of oral alpha blockers, floppy iris, laterality, pseudo-exfoliation, intraocular lens power, and initial visual acuity.Results: During the 10-year study, 1097 eyes underwent surgery. The following patient variables were seen frequently: floppy iris syndrome (92), pseudo-exfoliation (72), and morbid obesity (36). Surgeon identified stress was reported after 250 procedures. On multivariable analysis, the following patient characteristics were associated with surgeon stress: age > 80 years; morbid obesity; floppy iris syndrome; severe nuclear sclerosis; and poor baseline distance corrected visual acuity.Conclusion: Several ocular and systemic patient-related characteristics contribute to surgeon stress during PCE.Keywords: brunescent cataract, cataract, floppy iris, morbid obesity, phacoemulsification, pseudo-exfoliation, surgeon stress, surgery time, topical anesthesiaMansour AStewart MWCharbaji AREl Jawhari KMEl Zein LMansour MASaade JSDove Medical Pressarticlebrunescent cataractcataractfloppy irismorbid obesityphacoemulsificationpseudo-exfoliationsurgeon stresssurgery timetopical anesthesiaOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 2373-2381 (2020)
