Exfoliation Syndrome after Cataract Extraction

Ophthalmology, 1992
The authors describe three cases in which exfoliative material was noted on the posterior surface of intraocular lenses, years after extracapsular cataract extraction and lens implantation in eyes where no exfoliative material was seen before the operation.

The Basement Membrane Exfoliation Syndrome

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1979
Previous observations suggest that "pseudoexfoliation of the lens capsule" may be a disease in which cells produce abnormal basement membrane material. Electron microscopic studies indicate that exfoliative material can be produced by cells throughout the anterior segment of the eye.

INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE IN EXFOLIATION SYNDROME

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1988
Abstract. A retrospective follow‐up study of 206 eyes with exfoliation in 164 patients was carried out. At the time exfoliation (EX) was initially diagnosed, there were 97 patients with unilateral and 42 patients (84 eyes) with bilateral exfoliation.

Exfoliation Syndrome and Cataract Surgery

Journal of Glaucoma, 2018
Cataract extraction in exfoliation syndrome requires careful preoperative assessment and planning. Knowledge of the degree of pupil dilation and zonular integrity are essential for safely perform cataract surgery in these eyes. Capsule rhexis should be 5.5 mm and all intraoperative maneuvers should be designed to minimize zonular stress.

Vascular Dysfunction in Exfoliation Syndrome

Journal of Glaucoma, 2018
Both exfoliation syndrome (XFS) and exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) are associated with systemic vascular diseases and abnormalities. Although no uniform relationship between XFS/XFG and clinical systemic vascular diseases has been established across various populations, vascular dysfunction with or without clinically significant consequences has been ...

Exfoliation Syndrome: A Historical Perspective

Journal of Glaucoma, 2018
The discoverer of exfoliation was John Lindberg of Helsinki, Finland. He conducted his research as a young ophthalmology resident with the aim of elucidating 2 types of age-related degenerations of the iris and presenting it as an academic thesis. To this end, he had to construct a slit lamp, because they were not commercially available.

Molecular Biology of Exfoliation Syndrome

Journal of Glaucoma, 2018
Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is a common age-related matrix process resulting from excessive production and disordered assembly of elastic microfibrillar components into highly cross-linked fibrillary aggregates throughout the anterior eye segment and various organ systems.

The exfoliation syndrome.

Annals of ophthalmology, 1976
A clinical and ultramicroscopic review, including discussion of both scanning and transmission microscopy of the exfoliation syndrome, suggests that the term pseudoexfoliation be replaced by exfoliation syndrome. Involvement of the lens epithelium and, particularly, the pigment epithelium of the iris and the ciliary body epithelium are emphasized as ...

Exfoliation syndrome.

Transactions of the ophthalmological societies of the United Kingdom, 1987
The exfoliation syndrome has now been recognised all over the world and even in such ethnic groups as the Skolt Lapps, Navajo Indians, Australian aborigines and all major tribes of the South African Bantu. The prevalence appears rather all major tribes of the South African Bantu. The prevalence appears rather similar in those countries where population-
