Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome and Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma: A Review of the Literature with Updates on Surgical Management
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) is a systemic disorder caused by progressive accumulation of extracellular material over various tissues. PES usually determines increased intraocular pressure, changes in the anatomical aspects of the optic nerve, and visual field alterations leading to the diagnosis of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEG). Use of topical medical treatment usually leads to poor res...
متن کاملEffect of Phacoemulsification on Intraocular Pressure in Eyes with Pseudoexfoliation Single-surgeon Series Polypropylene Suture-guided Valve Tube for Posterior Chamber Implantation in Patients with Pseudophakic Glaucoma
Pseudoexfoliation (PFX) is characterized by the abnormàl production and accumulation of a fibrillar extracellular material with a gray appearance in the anterior segment of the eye and other tissues of the body. It is the most common identifiable cause of open-angle glaucoma, and there is an etio1oical association between PFX and cataract formation. Complication rates for cataract surgery in ey...
متن کاملLong-term safety and efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty as primary therapy for the treatment of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma compared with primary open-angle glaucoma
PURPOSE To investigate the safety and efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXFG) compared with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). DESIGN Non-randomized, prospective, clinical trial. METHODS Nineteen eyes of 13 patients with POAG and 18 eyes of 13 patients with PXFG were treated with SLT. Patients...
متن کاملTrabecular aspiration. A new mode to treat pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.
PURPOSE The primary cause of intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma is obstruction of the intertrabecular spaces by exfoliation material. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel surgical approach--trabecular aspiration--for the management of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. METHODS Twelve patients characterized by medically uncontrolled IOP ...
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...
