چکیده
INTRODUCTION True exfoliation of lens capsule is a relatively rare disorder that has a thin, fluttering membrane in the anterior chamber, mainly located in the pupil area, which is believed to have split from the anterior lens capsule. CASE REPORT The authors present here a patient with true exfoliation and primary angle closure glaucoma in both eyes, the ultrastructure of one eye revealed that the delaminated membrane was composed of more than two layers in itself.

متن کاملThe LOXL1 gene variations are not associated with primary open-angle and primary angle-closure glaucomas.
PURPOSE Glaucoma is a complex disease involving multiple genetic factors. Recently, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LOXL1 gene have been implicated in exfoliation syndrome (XFS) and exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) but not in the primary glaucomas. This study was conducted to determine the possible involvement of these SNPs in cases of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angl...

متن کاملLate-Onset Anterior Dislocation of a Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens in a Patient with Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome
Here, we report on a patient with pseudoexfoliation syndrome who developed acute angle-closure glaucoma with a marked myopic shift due to anterior dislocation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens almost 16 months after an uneventful phacoemulsification. Examination with a Scheimpflug camera was extremely useful in confirming the diagnosis. This is the fist case of late-onset angle-closure ...
