Trabeculotomy was performed on 12 eyes of 11 patients with glaucoma associated with pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule. Pressure was lowered in all eyes, in 10 eyes to 15 mmHg or less, 7 with no medication but 3 with medication. A subconjunctival bleb was present in 5 patients but was not necessary for a good result. These results suggest that the raised intraocular pressure which often occu...

Free energies for graphene exfoliation from bilayer graphene using ionic liquids based on various cations paired with the bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anion were determined from adaptive bias force-molecular dynamics (ABF-MD) simulation and fall in excellent qualitative agreement with experiment. This method has notable potential as an a priori screening tool for performance based rank ord...

PURPOSE To evaluate the reproducibility of intraocular pressure (IOP) peaks and fluctuations detected during the water-drinking test (WDT) in patients with exfoliation syndrome (XFS) and exfoliative glaucoma (XFG). METHODS This prospective study included 34 XFS and 30 XFG patients. Each patient was evaluated twice, with the two WDTs performed on a 30-day interval. We recorded IOP peak (highes...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction on long-term progression or stability in patients with exfoliation glaucoma. DESIGN Multicenter (Greece, Spain, Russia, and Hungary), retrospective analysis. METHODS Medical record analysis of 167 patients with at least 5 years of follow-up, who were stable (n = 85) or whose condition had progressed (n = 82) after the ...

Here, we report on a patient with pseudoexfoliation syndrome who developed acute angle-closure glaucoma with a marked myopic shift due to anterior dislocation of the posterior chamber intraocular lens almost 16 months after an uneventful phacoemulsification. Examination with a Scheimpflug camera was extremely useful in confirming the diagnosis. This is the fist case of late-onset angle-closure ...

PURPOSE To report two cases of spoke-like intraocular lens (IOL) opacification that resembles pseudoexfoliation of the crystalline lens. METHODS Case series presentation. RESULTS Patient 1 developed a circle of spoke-like opacification on the anterior IOL surface 7 years after phacoemulsification. Patient 2 had paracentral anterior surface IOL opacification 18 months after cataract extracti...

We developed the AT-400N automated teller machine by reconstructing embedded ATM software, which was formerly developed with a dedicated OS / dedicated language, with a general purpose OS / general purpose language. This machine has WOSA/XFS, which can insure the portability of Oki software to ATM platforms made by other manufacturers. To improve productivity and maintainability, an object orie...

BACKGROUND Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) is regarded as rare in people of Chinese ethnicity but the prevalence of this condition is not known. This epidemiology study was conducted to assess the prevalence of PXS in cataract patients and to report the clinical features present. METHODS Prospective descriptive study conducted in the period from March 1999 to May 2001 in ophthalmology depart...
