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...

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 (...

purpose : to compare central corneal thickness (cct), corneal endothelial cell density, and lens capsule thickness in normotensive patients with and without pseudoexfoliation syndrome (pxs) methods : this was a prospective, comparative, descriptive study. normotensive candidates for cataract surgery with (study group) and without (control group) pxs were enrolled in the study. cct and corneal e...

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...

In three eyes which underwent cataract extraction no evidence of senile pseudoexfoliation was found either before, or immediately after, surgery in spite of repeated biomicroscopical examination under full mydriasis. Years later pseudoexfoliative material was found on the anterior hyaloid and on the pupillary border. In another case, wherein the lens was traumatically dislocated and had lain in...

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...

PURPOSE To study the clinical correlates of pattern of deposits over the lens in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) or pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. METHODS This retrospective observational study screened 346 patients with PXF seen in glaucoma clinic of a tertiary hospital from 2011-2013. Details like pattern of deposits, location on the lens surface and pupillary abnormalities in s...
