BACKGROUND To report a case of postoperative fibrous membrane formation occluding the visual axis in the presence of anterior capsular phimosis in a patient with pseudoexfoliation syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION A 79-year-old Asian woman with pseudoexfoliation syndrome underwent uneventful phacoemulsification and implantation of one-piece hydrophilic acrylic square-edged intraocular lens (Cristal...

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 sele...

PURPOSE To localize the distribution of fibrillin-containing microfibrils in normal human anterior segment tissues and to characterize the role of fibrillin in the pathogenesis of pseudoexfoliation syndrome. METHODS Anterior segment tissues were obtained from 10 eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and 10 normal eyes and investigated by indirect immunofluorescence and electron microscopic imm...

INTRODUCTION Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is a common clinically important systemic condition characterized by the pathological production and accumulation of an abnormal fibrillar extracellular material in many intraocular and extra ocular tissues. Many studies have shown that pseudoexfoliation syndrome patients have higher rates of intraoperative complications during cataract surgery compared t...

Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is an ocular condition characterized by a distinctive deposition of fibrillar material in the anterior segment of the eye. Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is frequently associated with glaucoma. Though it is seen in all the population, prevalence varies considerably in different races. A hospital based study done in Nepal by our group showed that Gurung population is frequ...

purpose: to report and compare outcomes and intra- and postoperative complications of senile cataract surgery using phacoemulsification in patients with and without pseudoexfoliation syndrome. methods: consecutive patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome who underwent phacoemulsification in one or both eyes for senile cataracts between october 2009 and october 2010 were enrolled in the study. i...

introduction: pseudoexfoliation syndrome (pxs) occurs due to the deposition of extracellular fibrillar materials on the anterior chamber of the eye. this syndrome has been considered to be part of a systemic disease with the potential involvement of the inner ear called sensoroneural hearing loss (snhl).  in this study, we aimed on evaluating snhl within pxs patients in iran to compare them wit...

Pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome is an age-related systemic disease with primarily ocular manifestations characterized by deposition of whitish-gray pseudoexfoliation fibrillogranular amyloid like material on the anterior lens capsule, zonules, ciliary body, pupillary margin of the iris, corneal endothelium, anterior vitreous and trabecular meshwork [1,2]. The most important and easily recogniz...

PURPOSE To present early-onset ocular manifestations of pseudoexfoliation syndrome in young patients who had undergone multiple intraocular procedures. METHODS This is an observational case series, introducing four cases with histories of multiple intraocular procedures for glaucoma. RESULTS All reported cases demonstrated typical manifestations of pseudoexfoliation unilaterally in the eye ...
