Trabeculotomy in pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule.
Trabeculotomy was performed on 12 eyes of 11 patients with glaucoma associated with pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule. Pressure was lowered in all eyes, in 10 eyes to 15 mmHg or less, 7 with no medication but 3 with medication. A subconjunctival bleb was present in 5 patients but was not necessary for a good result. These results suggest that the raised intraocular pressure which often occu...
متن کاملEffect of lens extraction in pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule.
It is a matter of considerable clinical interest whether removal of the lens causes regression of pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule. Before the paper by Dvorak-Theobald (I954), pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule was often confused with true exfoliation, and it was suggested that lens extraction caused the condition to disappear (Irvine, I940; Gradle and Sugar, I947). After this paper app...
متن کاملLOXL1 expression in lens capsule tissue specimens from individuals with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and glaucoma
PURPOSE To study lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) expression in freshly collected lens capsules from pseudoexfoliation syndrome (XFS), pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (XFG), and normal cataract control individuals. We also investigated the effects of four glaucoma drug medications on LOXL1 expression in primary human lens epithelial cell cultures to see if they could affect LOXL1 expression. METHODS L...
متن کاملAssociation of HLA type with pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule.
AIMS/BACKGROUND To identify an HLA association with pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule to support the hypothesis that there is a genetic predisposition to pseudoexfoliation. A randomised trial would be ideal for establishing a relation but is more costly and time consuming to conduct. Case-control studies provide an alternative method of establishing a relation. METHODS The study group com...
متن کاملRacial incidence of pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule.
The condition of pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule seems common in some racial groups, and a high incidence of the condition has been reported in Scandinavia (Ladekarl, I965; Hansen and Sellevold, I968; Klouman, I967; Thomassen, I949; Backhaus and Lorentzen, I966; Horven, i966a), and in Greece (Joannides, Katsourakis, and Velissaropoulos, I96i). This raises the question whether pseudoexfoli...
