Pseudoexfoliation Material Accumulation on Intraocular Lens after Cataract Surgery.

Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is an agerelated disease characterized by the pathological production and accumulation of an abnormal extracellular fibrillar material over ocular tissues as well as other tissues and organs in the body such as the lung, liver, kidney, gall bladder, and cerebral meninges. The specific pathogenesis of pseudoexfoliation syndrome and the exact chemical composition of the pseudoexfoliation material are unknown. The association of pseudoexfoliation syndrome with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases has been shown in the literature. In the eye, the pseudoexfoliation material is mainly accumulated in the anterior lens capsule and pupillary border and is associated with the development of glaucoma and cataract [1, 2].
