Purpose: To identify clinical predictors associated with cataract development after penetrating keratoplasty (PK) in a tertiary referral center and to discuss the implications for surgical planning and postoperative surveillance. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study including 58 phakic patients with at least 24 months of follow-up. Eyes with pre-existing cataract or incomplete data were excluded. Cataract was defined as lens opacity detected on slit-lamp examination. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
