ABSTRACT Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the appropriate timing capsular tension ring implantation in cases zonular weakness due pseudoexfoliation syndrome. Methods: This prospective, comparative performed at Ophthalmology Department Inonu University, Malatya, Turkey. There were 43 patients included study. Group 1 (16 patients) had early implantation, and group 2 (27 late implant...

Purpose: The evaluation of the corneal endothelium patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) by specular microscopy (SM). Method: In this prospective study, two groups were formed. our right eye 50 diagnosed material slit lamp biomicroscopy performed in ophthalmology outpatient clinic and control without any health problems included. Results: There was no difference between patient terms g...

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...

PURPOSE To identify and characterize genes differentially expressed in anterior segment tissues of eyes with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome and glaucoma. METHODS Anterior segment tissues (iris, ciliary processes, lens epithelium) were obtained from eight surgically enucleated eyes with PEX-associated open-angle or closed-angle glaucomas and eight age-matched glaucomatous control eyes withou...

Fluorescein iris angiography and fluorophotometry were performed on a series of 9 patients with bilateral and 11 with unilateral pseudoexfoliation, 12 bilateral aphakes with pseudoexfoliation, and 7 unilateral aphakes with bilateral pseudoexfoliation. Angiography showed a loss of radial iris vessels, a heavy leak of fluorescein from the pupil margin, progressive neovascularisation of the outer ...
