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...
متن کاملPseudoexfoliation syndrome and cataract surgery.
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is a systemic age-related disease in which abnormal extracellular material is produced and accumulates in many ocular tissues. Its ocular manifestations involve all of the structures of the anterior segment as well as conjunctiva and orbital structures. The presence of pseudoexfoliation should alert the physicians to the increased risks associated during and after cat...
متن کاملComparison of Intraocular Pressure of Both Eyes in Patients with Unilateral Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome
Background & Aims: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) is a complex disorder which causes an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). This study was conducted in order to compare IOP of both eyes of patients with unilateral PXS. Methods: In a cross-sectional study from January 2011 to June 2012, 79 patients with unilateral PXS were studied. The patients were examined first with constricted, and the...
متن کاملDiurnal intraocular pressure variation in pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
PURPOSE To describe and compare the diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) variation in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) and normal subjects. METHODS The authors prospectively investigated 19 PXS patients (10 bilateral and 9 unilateral) and 25 age- and sex-matched normal subjects. One eye of each control subject and bilateral PXS patient was selected randomly, and pseudoexfoliative ...
متن کاملPseudoexfoliation and Cataract Surgery
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is characterised by the production and progressive accumulation of fibrillar extracellular material within different ocular tissues, and its incidence varies considerably according to geographical location. Cataract surgery in pseudoexfoliative patients is associated with a higher rate of complications, which are more common the more advanced the cataract. For this re...
