Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in men and is treated with alpha-blockers, particularly tamsulosin and silodosin. Studies suggest that these drugs may affect α1a receptors in the iris dilator muscle, causing structural changes in the iris and pupillary disturbances, and increasing the risk of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) during cataract surgery.
Main objective: To compare the effect of tamsulosin and silodosin on pupil size and choroidal thickness in patients with BPH.
Men aged 50 years and older with a definitive diagnosis of BPH who have no prior history of alpha-blocker use will be enrolled in one of the two treatment arms - tamsulosin or silodosin. Assessments will be conducted at two time points - before the start of treatment and after three months of continuous.
To reduce daily fluctuations related to circadian rhythm, all imaging will be performed within a fixed window of 9-11 a.m. by a single trained operator.

The study is designed as assessor-blind, such that eligible patients presenting to the center will be evaluated by the treating physician and will receive drug A or B. The person responsible for assessing the outcomes will not be informed of the group assignment or the final result.
Tamsulosin 0.4 mg, daily.
Silodosin 8 mg, daily.
