BACKGROUND To compare life span of persons with and without ocular pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES). METHODS The study is based on an epidemiological survey conducted in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway, in 1985-86. All inhabitants over 64 years of age (2109 individuals) were invited. Mortality information was obtained from The Norwegian Institute of Public Health in 2014, by which time 99% of th...

Details like pattern of deposits, location on the lens surface and pupillary abnormalities in s...

Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX Sy) is a common age–related disorder of the extracellular matrix that is frequently associated with severe secondary chronic open-angle glaucoma and cataract. Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEX gl) is one of the most common causes of optic disc damage, low visual accuracy, damage of visual field and blidness. Deposits of white material on the anterior lens surface a...

The Pentacam’s new densitometry software is not without limitations. A poorly dilated pupil interferes with the device’s sampling technology, and so eyes with pseudoexfoliation, trauma, and intraoperative floppy iris syndrome, for example, are problematic. Also, white cataracts block the system’s ability to sample the central nucleus. Nevertheless, comparison studies with the LOCS III system ha...

A decrease in the anterior capsule opening after cataract surgery has been observed in eyes with weakened lens zonules. It commonly occurs in diabetes mellitus, uveitis, pseudoexfoliation syndrome, high myopia, and elderly patients. Herein, we report the case of a middle-aged man with advanced retinitis pigmentosa who developed a rapid contraction of the anterior capsule after an uneventful pha...
