Exfoliation syndrome and exfoliation glaucoma

Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2000
Exfoliation syndrome abnormal deposition in the anterior segment of the eye of an unknown substance thought to be related to elastic fibres and basement membrane components is associated with accelerated cataract progression. increased frequency of intraoperative and postoperative complications and increased risk for glaucoma and.

Pseudo‐exfoliation, IOP and glaucoma

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1991
Abstract On the basis of a glaucoma survey in a total population ≥ 65 years of age, the IOP in eyes with and without pseudo‐exfoliation (PE) has been compared. The average IOP was 22.2 mmHg in eyes with PE versus 17.4 in eyes without. The corresponding averages in eyes without glaucomatous damage were 18.6 and 17.1 mmHg, and in eyes with glaucoma 31.5 ...

The management of exfoliative glaucoma

2008
Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is an age-related, generalized disorder of the extracellular matrix characterized by the production and progressive accumulation of a fibrillar extracellular material in many ocular tissues and is the most common identifiable cause of open-angle glaucoma worldwide.

Mechanisms of Glaucoma in Exfoliation Syndrome

Journal of Glaucoma, 2018
The most important characteristic of exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is that it involves a greater risk of developing glaucoma. In comparison with other forms of open-angle glaucoma, exfoliation glaucoma is more resistant to medical therapy and progresses faster.

Morphology of iris vasculopathy in exfoliation glaucoma

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1993
Abstract. Iris tissue obtained from 26 consecutive patients operated upon for exfoliation glaucoma and control iris tissue from 26 age‐matched subjects operated upon for primary open angle glaucoma was used to investigate the iris vasculopathy associated with exfoliation glaucoma.

Medical Management of Glaucoma in Exfoliation Syndrome

Journal of Glaucoma, 2018
The treatment of glaucoma in exfoliation syndrome is similar to primary open-angle glaucoma. Frequently, exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) patients require early polytherapy with topical medications. Little emphasis has been placed on tailoring treatment specifically to XFG.

Laser Management of Glaucoma in Exfoliation Syndrome

Journal of Glaucoma, 2018
Argon laser trabeculoplasty as well as selective laser trabeculoplasty can be used in patients with exfoliation syndrome with similar safety and efficacy. However, treatment effect may abruptly reverse and patients need to be followed regularly to monitor intraocular pressure control.

Exfoliation Syndrome and Glaucoma

2013
Exfoliative (pseudoexfoliative) glaucoma is the most common secondary open-angle glaucoma worldwide. It develops from exfoliation (Exfoliation pseudoexfoliation) syndrome, a systemic elastosis is caused by single nucleotide polymorphisms of the lysyl oxidase-like protein which is an 1 important regulator of extracellular material turnover.

Deep Sclerectomy in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Exfoliative Glaucoma

European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2016
Purpose To study the effect of deep sclerectomy (DS) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and exfoliative glaucoma (EXG). Methods We retrospectively analyzed the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect of DS in 235 consecutive eyes.

Comparison of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Exfoliation Glaucoma at Diagnosis

European Journal of Ophthalmology, 2014
Purpose To compare ocular findings in eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and exfoliation glaucoma (EG) at the time of diagnosis when identical diagnostic criteria for glaucoma were applied. Methods We conducted a study on ...
