purpose : the objective of this study was to investigate the total antioxidant status (tas) and dna damage markers of serum and aqueous humor in patients with pseudoexfoliation (pex) syndrome. methods : twenty-seven cataract patients with pex and twenty-seven without pex syndrome were included in the study and groups were matched for age and gender. patients had no elevated intraocular pressure...

OBJECTIVE: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) leads to some problems in the eye surgery specially cataract surgery. As the prevalence of eye problems is high in diabetic patients, we meant to assess the prevalence of PEX in diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 400 type 2 diabetic patients aged 50 or above who referred to Yazd Diabetes Research Center were selec...

The aim is to present the phacoemulsification phaco-chop technique in a patient with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome without the use of additional pupil dilatation methods. Phacoemulsification surgery and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation in patients with PEX syndrome is associated with a higher rate of intraoperative complications such as zonular dehiscence, capsular rupture, vi...

Pseudoexfoliation (PXF) syndrome is a genetically determined, age-dependent generalized disorder of the elastic fiber system, characterized by excessive production and accumulation of an elastotic material within a multitude of intraand extraocular tissues. Accumulation of this abnormal material in the aqueous humor outflow pathways predisposes to ocular hypertension and development of a severe...

A systematic literature review was performed evaluating articles examining the effects of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) and glaucoma (PEXG) on the cornea with a focus on the corneal endothelium. We searched for articles relevant to pseudoexfoliation syndrome, pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and corneal endothelial cell counts using Pubmed, Google Scholar Database, Web of Science and Cochrane Libr...
