This article aims to comprehensively describe a particular case of bilateral intraocular subluxated lens with pseudoexfoliation syndrome in Moroccan woman homocystinuria. We report 56-year-old patient who has cataractous along whitish deposits. The association PEX hyperhomocysteinemia rarely been found. It worsens the lenses' zonular stability and causes multiple complications.

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 syndrome (PEX) is the most common clinical precursor of open-angle glaucoma. Recent studies have shown that pseudoexfoliative material is widely distributed throughout the body, including blood vessels. The aim of our study was to evaluate endothelial function in the brachial artery of patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. We prospectively examined 23 patients with PEX (me...

purpose : to report two young patients with unilateral pseudoexfoliation (pex) syndrome case reports : two young patients with pex syndrome were examined. the first was a 30-year-old woman who had a history of penetrating ocular trauma with iris prolapse in the right eye that subsequently developed pex material deposition on pupillary border and anterior lens capsule. the second was a 13-year-o...

Purpose. To compare the macular and peripapillary choroidal thickness in eyes with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome and PEX glaucoma with the normal eyes of healthy controls. Materials and Methods. In this prospective study, 30 eyes of 30 patients with PEX syndrome, 28 eyes of 28 patients with PEX glaucoma, and 30 eyes of 30 age-matched healthy subjects were enrolled. Choroidal thicknesses in t...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the possible association of rs1048661 and rs3825942 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) gene of cataract patients from southwestern Greece with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ninety-three patients with PEX syndrome and 74 without PEX syndrome were recruited with the principal diagnosi...

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...

Background: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is a complex systemic disorder of the extracellular matrix primarily affecting eye and visceral organs. In this age-related disease fibrillar material produced accumulates in many ocular extraocular tissues. Objective: To study prevalence pseudoexfoliation among patients with sensorineural hearing loss. Patients Methods: A cross-sectional study, cond...

Purpose. Evaluation of central corneal thickness (CCT) and endothelial cell density (ECD) in patients with senile cataract and coexisting pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome with glaucoma (PEXG) and without glaucoma using specular microscopy. Participants and Methods. The study included 122 patients (217 eyes). In this group of patients we identified 133 eyes with PEX syndrome (65 with glaucoma, 6...
