Prevalence of Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome and Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma in Upper Egypt
BACKGROUND Pseudoexfoliation (PXF) is a recognized risk factor for developing cataract, glaucoma and lens dislocation. PXF is also associated with increased risk of complications during cataract surgery due to poor mydriasis and zonular weakness. The aim of this study is to report the prevalence of pseudoexfoliation among Upper Egyptians attending the ophthalmology clinic of Assiut University H...
متن کاملCases of Pseudophakic Pseudoexfoliation in Glaucoma Patients
We present cases of primary open angle glaucoma patients without previous history of pseudoexfoliation who developed pseudoexfoliative materials on the anterior surface of the intraocular lens after cataract surgery. Among 5 unilateral pseudophakic pseudoexfoliation cases, 3 showed a more advanced state of glaucoma in the affected eye. The other 2 cases showed progression of glaucoma in the aff...
متن کاملPhacoviscocanalostomy in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma versus primary open-angle glaucoma.
OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome of phacoviscocanalostomy in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG) versus that in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). DESIGN Prospective comparative study. PARTICIPANTS Sixty eyes of 60 patients who underwent phacoviscocanalostomy for cataract and medically uncontrolled PEXG (30 eyes) or POAG (30 eyes). METHODS Success rate was based on intraocular pressure (IO...
متن کامل[Morphometric changes of corneal endothelial cells in pseudoexfoliation syndrome and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma].
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the corneal endothelial morphometry and central corneal thickness (CCT) in pseudoexfoliative (PEX) eyes with and without glaucoma and to compare with normal eyes and eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). METHOD A total of 166 patients were included in this study: 36 eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS), 30 eyes with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG), 40 eyes...
متن کاملExploring functional candidate genes for genetic association in german patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.
PURPOSE Pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome is a generalized elastic microfibrillopathy characterized by fibrillar deposits in intra- and extraocular tissues. Genetic and nongenetic factors are known to be involved in its etiopathogenesis. This study was focused on six functional candidate genes involved in PEX material deposition and the analysis of their potential association with PEX syndrome a...
